Location:
Local Edition (in The Hearst Building)
691 Market Street
San Francisco, CA

Right near Union Square, decent part of the City.
I'd like to note as well that the event is only about 7 blocks from the SF Ferry Building. Make it easy on yourself and park across the Bay, take the very reliable Ferry service from any number of East Bay locations and take a walk into the event. You can depart/return from Vallejo, Richmond, Oakland and Alameda and out at Harbor Bay.

If you want to drive and park all the way in try the Hearst Garage at 155 Stevenson Street, Jessie Square Garage at 223 Stevenson Street options over by Transbay at Minna/Mission Street (Paramount Valet and 181 Jessie Street). ALSO, the Palace Hotel Parking Garage at 125 Stevenson is a viable option, per AgAlum, there is a special rate for all Aggies participating in the event.

Also, there's always BART

Solo tickets are $250 a pop. Couples get a $50 discount at $450/pair. You can also directly support the coaching staff by buying them a ticket to attend and help shed light on the 2026 season outlook..

Awesome event, really hard to find a direct link when you look it up on google. Only things that come up are an alumni story of winemaking and instagram/facebook links to a post that talks about it. Did not find the event on the cal aggie alumni site, athletics site, etc.

If Rocko or any admin are reading - please, don't wait till late January to spread the word.

My wife and i have tickets. The Palace hotel, next to the event venue, is supposed to have “safe” parking and a special Aggie rate.

MTBAggie

My wife and I will be there. It's probably her worst nightmare to know that more than one person in the world exists that enjoys talking about Davis sports. Even worse, having people in the same room other than me talking about Davis sports. We'll be taking Caltrain or Uber up from San Mateo and likely getting a hotel.

Here is a link to the silent auction for the night. You can bid online as well as at the event. I’m hoping they offer a trip on the charter to an away game - that’s a fun experience that should bring in some bucks.

what link?

Hey guys, just got tickets for me and the wife. Question, is there going to be food there? Planning the event and trying to figure out if I should take the Mrs to dinner as well.

thanks,

DrMike

I believe the flyer says 'heavy appetizers', so an early dinner/late lunch is probably a good idea. They are working on hotel issues at the moment. The deal with the Palace, unfortunately, seems to have fallen through (the dude listed as the contact is no longer with the company and didn't seem to leave the group information with anyone!)

Sailorgabe

Thank Doc!

DrMike

I’d strongly encourage those who are planning to attend to sign up soon. There are blocks of rooms now at both the Palace and Hyatt Regency, both short walks from event. If you haven’t received a flyer with information, I’ll post here

Less than 20 spots still available so get off the fence and purchase. There are two items on an early bird silent auction (one is great for out of town football game visitors). Other auction items will go live using the link below soon, running through the event. Sign up below and bid using link here:

Jdur

It would mean a lot if folks who go update those who can’t in the board about the event :)

Zander

Do we have an official contact for this? I'm looking into possibly adding a +1 and am trying to figure out if it makes more sense to just register them normally or if there are seating arrangement things that need to be addressed too

DrMike

↪Zander

there is no seating chart, but there is a discount for a couple. Contact Josh Flushman (contact email online).

AggieFinn

↪DrMike

Agreed - contact Josh, he'll pick up the phone or at least get back to you quickly and make sure you're squared away.

DrMike

Mark your calendar
Feb. 28 | 5–9 PM
Local Edition

The silent auction opens Feb. 20 at 8 AM and will remain open for bidding through the day of the event, closing at 8 PM on Feb. 28 while the event is underway. You can place bids anytime during that window, even if you’re not attending in person. For the live auction, proxy bids are available if you’d like to participate remotely. Only a few spots remain.

Head to the link below to register and start bidding

Some REALLY nice packages in there!

MTBAggie

What am I missing? When I click the PayBee links, it opens the app and just shows me that I registered for the event. I don't see anything about the auction.

this takes me to the site.

MTBAggie

↪DrMike

I think the app just sucks. If I open the link in a browser, works fine.

DrMike

↪MTBAggie

that’s not good - I think they are expecting people at the event to use their phones!

Seems to work fine on my ancient IPhone

MTBAggie

↪DrMike

I'm an android user. So that may be the issue.

Jdur

Update:

Sounds like the fundraiser already has around 200 people who are going. Great numbers.

davisguy52

↪Jdur

Really? That seems high (but awesome)

DrMike

↪davisguy52

last I talked to someone (last home basketball) they were in the 130 range hoping for 150. Someone may have donated do coaches and spouses can attend.

Jdur

straight from the plough's mouth!

Those are some really good numbers. curious if any big money donors will be there.

DrMike

↪Jdur

they can outbid everyone from home!!!

agalum

Wife and I are looking forward to it. Rarely have a reason to venture into the city. With 200 attendees, the food and wine line might be long?

DrMike

↪agalum

I think the ‘approaching 200’ may be a slight exaggeration. Less wine, less wild bidding from us!
