The Variety Gala is free for all, but please chip in or become a member if you can here! A $100 donation gets you a free, exclusive 48 Hills t-shirt designed by Sirron Norris!

We look forward to seeing you, thank you so much for your support. We couldn’t keep local, independent media alive without you. (Facebook invite here.)
