Fancy a beer with Tim Redmond?

We're looking for sponsors for our October 22 Gala—and sweetening the pot with a personal bull session with our editor.

We’re still looking for major sponsors (and welcoming attendees!) for our 12th Annual 48 Hills Community Gala on October 22, 6pm-9pm at El Rio, SF—and now we’re sweetening the pot. Donate $1000 or more from now until the Gala and you can have your very own bull session with 48 Hills editor Tim Redmond at a local bar or cafe of your choice! 

Don’t worry, he’s a cheap date (we’ll pick up the tab): His love of Bud Light is renowned throughout the world of local independent journalism. And you can talk about anything you want, from housing policy and economic theory to fishing and boating. Donate here, or reach out to Tim personally at tim@48hills.org. Find out about more great sponsorship benefits here.

Even if you can’t score a private chat with Tim, you can still support us by upgrading your newsletter subscription to paid to receive his exclusive weekly Agenda newsletter analyzing the week’s politics—and join us at the Gala with all your friends to celebrate local independent journalism. Cheers! 

*48 Hills is the official publication of the San Francisco Progressive Media Center, a 501c3 non-profit. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
