FĹŚM25 Launch Video
Every year, Fōmcore’s FŌM season—Fulfilling Our Mission—transforms our daily work into something bigger. What started as a way to set internal production goals has evolved into a summer challenge where hitting our goals means giving back. For every day our team meets its production target, we donate to an individual, family, or organization chosen for that time period—turning our work into something that creates real, lasting impact. This season, we have a preseason, four games, each lasting four weeks, and a postseason game. More than just a competition, the FŌM season is about purpose, teamwork, and using what we do every day to serve others in a meaningful way.

From May 5–30, our team is #PlayingItForward for the Barton family—Bill, Marci, Sydney, and Lucas. Lucas was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) when he was five and a half years old. Lucas loves animals, puns, video games, and more, and he brings a joyful energy to the people around him.
Meet THE BARTON FAMILY
Engage: Their story draws us closer
DMD is a severe, progressive genetic disorder that causes muscle degeneration and weakness due to the absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. It primarily affects boys and typically appears in early childhood. Over time, it impacts every part of daily life—from mobility and independence to heart and lung function. While there is no cure, ongoing care and support can help improve quality of life and manage symptoms along the way.
