Silver Cup Award Luncheon
2025 TACA Silver Cup Award Luncheon
Thank you for joining us in celebrating the 2025 Silver Cup Award Luncheon!
In honor of Gayle Halperin and Jim Nugent, nearly 600 leaders from the arts, civic, and business communities gathered to recognize their extraordinary contributions to the arts in Dallas.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Silver Cup Co-Chairs — Phil Clemmons, John Dayton, Tara Lewis and Donna Wilhelm — for their leadership and support in making this event such a success.
The TACA Silver Cup Award Luncheon serves as a unique opportunity to honor these individuals and gather the region’s civic and cultural leaders, patrons, and volunteers in support of distinguished leadership and volunteerism in the arts.
