Mandy is a sustaining member of the Junior League of Beaumont, and through the JLB has dedicated countless hours of her time and energy to the betterment of our community. It’s fair to say Brian’s “decision” to participate in DWTS was heavily influenced by Mandy’s ties to the JLB, as well as her representation to him that “this year’s event was going to be entirely virtual”.
