Congratulations to our winner, Erynn Doaner, one of our Outstanding Women of 2025!
“Erynn inspires me every day. She not only runs a business; she also is married and raising a daughter…No hesitation or slow down for this young deserving woman!” – Tina Boyd
Erynn Doaner, owner of Mae’s Place, a restaurant in downtown Brandon is committed to using her restaurant space, and online following to help her give back to her community. Erynn and a friend created
The Holiday Give Back, where they choose a holiday and put together something for a specific organization in the community that could use some help. In the past they have put together Easter baskets for the women’s shelter, full of necessities women entering the shelter in an emergency might need. This year they have put together bags for the unhoused community with hats, mittens, a poncho and a message about the worthiness of the people in their community and that they deserve to be celebrated. Erynn is a mother, a wife and she runs a successful and delicious restaurant, which she is able to use as a place to help people, talk about mental illness and create a safe space for everyone in the community…her true passion.
