OUR FOUNDATION

THE THREE Fs OF F3

Fitness is the magnet, Fellowship is the glue, and Faith is the purpose.

1. Fitness

Workouts take place outdoors in all weather conditions—rain, shine, heat, or snow. Led in rotation by participants, workouts adapt to all fitness levels.

2. Fellowship

Strong bonds formed in the Gloom bleed over into 2nd F lunches, coffee socials, and genuine male friendship that combats isolation.

3. Faith

Defined simply as belief in something bigger than yourself. We empower men to give back and lead in their families, workplaces, and local communities.

🥏 WOMU - Welcome Back, Spackler!

Q: smokey
PAX: 3
PAX Present:
smokey (Q)Blanks spackles

Eight PAX took the field this morning for another glorious edition of WOMU Ultimate Frisbee. The temperature was 49°, which means heavy pinnie season is approaching! The Teams: 🟠 The Walking Wounded: Blanks, Spackler, Fresh Meat, Smokey 🟡 The Yellow Team: Mule, Cayman, Peaches, Cool Runnings Not entirely sure who was responsible for selecting these teams, but somebody clearly wasn’t paying attention to the injury report. Spackler hadn’t sprinted in almost a month, Fresh Meat was dealing with foot issues, and Blanks moves at approximately the speed of continental drift. Somehow, this collection of broken-down athletes managed to keep things (somewhat) competitive! The Thang: The Walking Wounded put up a surprisingly respectable fight, largely thanks to some absolutely phenomenal red-zone work by Fresh Meat. The guy was everywhere, making plays and keeping the offense alive. Spackler also made his presence felt, especially in the end zone. Unfortunately, the Yellow Team had a pretty effective offensive strategy of their own: throw the disc in the general direction of Mule or Cayman and let them go up and get it. More often than not, they did. Meanwhile, Blanks continued his ongoing experiment with playing defense. Results remain inconclusive, but the noises he makes while running may have slightly influenced a couple end zone attempts to Cool Runnings and Peaches. Smokey was out there making cuts so convincing that even his own teammates had no idea where he was going. The defense was confused. The offense was confused. But the moves were impressive! Despite the heroic efforts of the Walking Wounded, Yellow eventually pulled away for the victory, approximately 12–7. No official scorekeeper was present, so we’re going with that. T-claps: 💡 Caymen – Once again came through with the lights! At this point, WOMU might need to put this guy on the payroll. Much appreciated! 🔥 Fresh Meat – Absolute beast in the red zone, even with a bum foot. Also apparently moonlighting as Blanks’ personal Ultimate coach. 💪 Spackler – Welcome back, brother! Three-plus weeks away and right back into the action. Great having you out there! 🎂 Fresh Meat’s Grandmother – Celebrated her 103rd birthday! That’s incredible! Congratulations to her and the entire family! Announcements: - Terror Trails - 10/31 - Frolf League - Fall 2026 - Church on the Street - 11/1 - Canned Food Drive Ruck- 11/14 🙏 Smokey took us out. Another great morning of throwing plastic around with a bunch of guys who remember when Ronald Reagan was president. SYITG! — Blanks
