Mandi Horstman dedicated over 18 years to the medical health insurance field, but her true passion emerged in 2013 when she joined the La Crosse Oktoberfest Grenadiers and discovered her love for volunteering and non-profit work. In 2023, she made a career change and took the role of Development & Communications Coordinator for the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, where she oversees two major fundraising events annually.

Mandi’s commitment to community service has extended across various organizations, including Project Linus and the Children’s Miracle Network. Her leadership has also been evident during her eight years on the Holmen Show Choir’s Parents Board, where she held the positions of Secretary, Vice President, and President. For the past four years, she has co-directed the Making Miracles Happen Golf Outing, raising $24,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network.

In her free time, Mandi loves spending time with her two adult daughters and her husband, Travis. She enjoys golfing, crocheting, and crafting anything sparkly.
