The Sui Generis Foundation of Berkeley has awarded Mary Tilson for her work at KPFA for the past 20+ years, for her enthusiastic commitment to—and support of—the local music scene and for introducing listeners to new artists, and for bringing joy into my life and the life of the Bay Area (and beyond!) most every Sunday.

KPFA congratulates Mary for bringing the Bay Area the Back 40 every Sunday!
