Rainbow Days to Host 25th Annual Pot of Gold Luncheon Featuring Keynote Speaker Caylin Moore
Rainbow Days will host its 25th annual Pot of Gold Luncheon at the Omni Dallas Hotel Dallas Ballroom on Friday, April 29, 2022. This year’s luncheon, which is presented by Title Sponsors Nancy Ann and Ray L. Hunt, will also celebrate Rainbow Days’ 40th anniversary since its founding in 1982 in Dallas.
The 2022 Pot of Gold Luncheon festivities will begin at 11 a.m. with silent auction bidding, and the luncheon program will begin promptly at noon. This year’s goal is to raise $300,000 for Rainbow Days to continue providing critical services benefiting thousands of at-risk and homeless children and youth across the Dallas area each year. Table sponsorships start at $2,000 and individual tickets for the luncheon are $200 per person, both of which are available to purchase online at www.RainbowDays.org/POG2022 or by phone at (214) 217-3833.
Rainbow Days is thrilled to announce the 2022 Pot of Gold Luncheon Keynote Speaker is Caylin Moore. A celebrated author and sought-after inspirational speaker, Caylin will invigorate audiences with wisdom from his journey of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles to striving to leave the world better than he found it. His against-all-odds journey from the cruel poverty of a gang-ridden Los Angeles community to becoming a Rhodes Scholar is detailed in his acclaimed book, A Dream Too Big: The Story of an Improbable Journey from Compton to Oxford. His work has been featured by Good Morning America, Sirius XM Radio, ABC News, NBC LA, Home and Family, Hallmark Channel, and The 700 Club amongst other media outlets. His book was named a Good Morning America Anchor’s Favorite Books of 2019, was an Amazon Bestseller in Sociology of Urban Areas and came out in paperback in June 2020.
