I said yes to Lynchburg Dancing with Stars because I whole heartedly believe in the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Virginia and wanted to help bring awareness to the important work they are doing in our community. Mentorship and relationships in general are so powerful. They have the ability to alter the course of a life in a profound way. Ensuring that our children are connected and heard is such a tangible way of building a better future for our region. This event is a fun way to have a small part in that mission. I am honored to be a part of this year’s event and would encourage you to join in supporting this important work by voting for our team!
