Join the Celebration: Champion Local Journalism at Tucson Sentinel’s Holiday Bash!

The Tucson Sentinel invites the community to celebrate the holiday season at its annual “Holiday Shindig” on Wednesday, December 11. This gathering will take place at The Shanty, located at 401 E. 9th St., from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Guests can expect a lively atmosphere filled with drinks, mini-chimichangas, and a diverse mix of attendees, including local reporters, elected officials, and everyday readers.

This year’s event also marks significant milestones: the 233rd anniversary of the Bill of Rights and the Tucson Sentinel’s upcoming 15th birthday. The gathering aims to express gratitude to those who support local journalism through their time, talents, and contributions. Attendees are encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations about the importance of independent journalism.

The Tucson Sentinel is a nonprofit organization committed to producing accountability journalism that resonates with local residents. During the event, a push for financial support will be highlighted. Contributions made throughout December will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the NewsMatch program, offering an opportunity for the community to maximize their impact on local news coverage.

Those unable to attend can still support the Tucson Sentinel through tax-deductible donations online. This initiative is backed by several national foundations and aims to strengthen nonprofit newsrooms, ensuring that independent journalism remains robust and responsive to community needs.

As the holiday season approaches, the Tucson Sentinel encourages everyone to come together for a toast to freedom, community, and the role of a free press in society. The event is expected to be a wonderful opportunity for networking and fostering connections within the community.
