White House Solicits Corporate Sponsors for 2025 Easter Egg Roll
In a break from tradition, the Trump administration offers branding opportunities and exclusive perks to companies contributing up to $200,000 for the event.
- Sponsorship packages range from $75,000 to $200,000, offering branding on event materials, custom giveaways, and mentions in official White House communications.
- Sponsors also receive exclusive perks, including private White House tours, VIP tickets, and a brunch hosted by First Lady Melania Trump.
- The event is organized by Harbinger, with proceeds directed to the White House Historical Association, a nonprofit supporting preservation efforts.
- Critics, including ethics experts and former officials, argue the move undermines long-standing norms and raises concerns about the use of public office for private gain.
- The National Park Service will review prospective sponsors, while the American Egg Board continues its traditional support of the event.
