What a Night! – BBB Torch Awards Wrap-Up
Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening at the 2025 BBB Torch Awards, a premier celebration of ethics, excellence, and leadership in Southeast Texas business! From the elegance of red carpet attire to the vibrant atmosphere of the Beaumont Civic Center, this year’s event truly reflected the strength and spirit of our region’s business community.
Guests enjoyed an incredible dinner by Bando’s Catering, followed by the thrill of our Signature Raffle—featuring an exciting mix of local treasures, luxury packages, and one-of-a-kind experiences. The Live Auction, led by the always-energetic Scott Droddy, kept the crowd buzzing and raised essential funds to support scholarships through our BBB Education Foundation.
We proudly recognized outstanding individuals and organizations during the evening’s celebration. Congratulations to the recipients of the Torch and Spark Awards for Ethics, Leader of Industry Honorees, the John L. Bell Jr. Friend of the BBB Award, the Industrial Excellence Award, and the prestigious Southeast Texas Businessman and Businesswoman of the Year Awards.
A special thank-you to our sponsors, supporters, and every attendee whose presence helped make this night one to remember. Because of your generosity, we’re able to continue providing scholarships, educational programs, and resources that strengthen our local workforce and business community.
Until next year—keep leading with integrity!
