Quote of the Day
The White House is aiming to bring on corporate sponsors for this year’s Easter Egg Roll, according to multiple reports, a move that would deviate from traditional norms surrounding the nearly 150-year-old holiday celebration.
CNN first reported over the weekend that event production company Harbinger is leading the effort, with sponsorships starting at $75,000 and running as high as $200,000. Deals for potential sponsors, according to a document, posted online by The New York Times, that was sent to businesses, include advertising opportunities, such as naming rights to areas of the event, typically held on the White House South Lawn, and the chance to put branding and logos on signage or items featured at the celebration.
