Cashbash Celebrates 25 Years of Cashman & Associates

What a night. 

On March 4, 2026, Cashman & Associates welcomed clients, partners, media, colleagues and friends to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) for Cashbash, a milestone celebration honoring the agency’s 25th anniversary.

Set within PAFA’s iconic Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building, the evening brought together the people and organizations who have helped shape the Cashman & Associates story over the past 25 years. As one of the nation’s first purpose-built museums and schools of fine arts, the landmark provided a fitting backdrop to celebrate the agency’s longstanding commitment to the arts, cultural institutions, and the creative community. The evening reflected upon 25 years of creativity, collaboration, and strategic storytelling while looking ahead to the exciting chapter to come.  

From the moment guests arrived, the evening reflected the energy, style and spirit of C&A. Chic décor, delicious bites, specialty cocktails, entertainment and interactive experiences transformed the iconic venue into a vibrant celebration of Philadelphia’s creative community.
