Rainbow Days to Host 28th Annual Pot of Gold Luncheon

 

Rainbow Days is delighted to announce its 28th annual Pot of Gold Luncheon, taking place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the Westin Dallas Galleria.

This inspiring event will raise funds to support Rainbow Days’ programs, which provide essential services to at-risk and homeless children across the Dallas community.

Rainbow Days is thrilled to announce the 2025 Pot of Gold Luncheon keynote speaker is Victor Rivas Rivers. Victor is a veteran star of more than two dozen films, most known for The Distinguished Gentleman, Mask of Zorro, The Hulk and more. Born in Santi Spiritus, Cuba, Victor immigrated to the United States at the age of two. After growing up in an abusive household, he took legal action against his father at age 15 and entered the foster care system. With the help of his community, he turned his life around from hard gang member to earning a senior class football scholarship. Upon graduation he was drafted to play for the Miami Dolphins. Victor continues to raise awareness regarding domestic violence, citing that it is not just a women's issue, but an issue that is relevant to everyone.

Rainbow Days is honored to have Matt and Tiffany Macleod as this year’s Event Chairs. Matt, a retired marine and current Executive Risk Officer at JP Morgan Chase, specializes in cyber security and insider risk. Tiffany, a Dallas/Fort Worth native, is the founder of Elizabeth Scott Design, where she has built a remarkable career in event planning and design. Together, they are dedicated supporters of Rainbow Days’ mission to help children overcome challenges and thrive in the face of adversity. 

The Pot of Gold Luncheon is a meaningful and celebratory event that supports Rainbow Days’ programs through ticket sales, sponsorships, donations, and auction proceeds. Attendees will enjoy an uplifting program, which includes a motivational keynote address, performances by Rainbow Days children, and inspiring testimonials. With over 500 guests expected, the Silent Auction will feature more than $100,000 in exciting items and will open for online bidding on Monday, May 5, 2025.
