We need sponsors for our big Gala! Help us survive for another year

Sponsor our annual celebration on October 27 and help us keep local news independent and human-driven!

Early bird discount tickets are on sale now for our big Triple Gala on October 27, 6pm-8pm, at El Rio in the Mission—celebrating 13 years of 48 Hills, 60 years of the Bay Guardian, and 52 years of Best of the Bay (vote now!). We’ll have live entertainment, local bites, terrific cocktails, and more!

Please join us and help us continue our mission to keep local media fiercely independent, alternative, and human-driven for another year! Almost all of our money goes to local writers, editors, designers, photographers, and artists! We produce more than 1000 articles per year that cover politics in ways the mainstream media won’t—and guide our thousands of readers to tens of thousands of local arts and culture events and protests.

Become a major sponsor of our Gala this year and help us survive! (Or encourage your workplace, favorite business or org, or friends with means to support us!). Please consider sponsoring this incredible annual event at the $1000, $2000, $5000, or $10,000 level. We rely on our community to continue to bring you the real San Francisco news and culture.

48 Hills is a 501c3 non-profit, your sponsorship donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law! Sponsors also receive complimentary tickets to the Gala in line with their sponsorship amount, and acknowledgment in our program and online.

Please contact marke@48hills.org for more info, and let’s keep local media independent together!
