The TACA gang just reported the leadership for the September 20 TACA RBC Wealth Management Custom Auction Gala. Talk about a doozy! Last year’s black tie dinner and mega-auction chaired by Jacquelin and Phillip Taylor and Nick Even was a delicious taste of bidding perfection. Why, the Grammy Awards package alone went for a whopping $55,000 to TACA’s newest BFF/New Zealander Annette Presley.
So how are they going to push that paddle bidding even higher at the Mansion?
Oh, smart ones that they are, the TACA folks have once again drafted Neiman Marcus Senior VP and Chief Marketing Officer Wanda Gierhart to assemble the auction goodies. This gal must have genes from the Stanley Marcus lineage. She knows how to spot the besties of the best.
As for the event chairs, it will be Heather and Bill Esping, who will be joined by Honorary Chairs Barbara and Don Daseke. These two couples should attract a smart crowd with better taste than Nancy Nichols’ Top 10 Restaurants.
The only boo-hoo news is that tickets aren’t online yet. However, if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities and getting your name in for tickets when they’re available, call 214.520.3930.
As you know by now, we’ll let you know when the tickets are online and a breakdown of Wanda’s Wonders.
