DALLAS – Don Glendenning, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Corporate Practice Group, was honored with The Dallas Morning News’ 97th Annual Linz Award, one of the oldest and most prestigious civic honors in Dallas.

For more than 95 years, the Linz Award has symbolized the highest recognition of civic service in Dallas, honoring individuals whose community and humanitarian efforts have created the greatest benefit to the city over the last decade.

Glendenning was recognized for his extensive philanthropic and civic leadership, including his work on the public-private partnership between the Dallas Zoological Society and the city of Dallas, which helped elevate the zoo to become one of the nation’s best zoological parks. He also co-chaired the campaign for the New Parkland Hospital, which raised more private dollars than any prior campaign for an indigent care hospital, and helped lead the combination of The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture with Southern Methodist University.

Glendenning’s service spans human rights, social justice and community enhancement, public health, education, the environment, and the arts, with involvement in organizations including the Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, Texas Trees Foundation, Southwestern Medical District, The Dallas Opera, KERA, and the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, among many more. He has received numerous honors, including the Dallas Bar Association’s Justinian Award for dedication to volunteer service.
