Will they win back favor from Donald Trump? These are the companies sponsoring the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll

The White House Easter Egg Roll in 2025 seems like a corporate event, with major tech corporations rushing to sponsor the historic tradition, as per a report. For the first time, this classic tradition will be heavily branded, with big names in Silicon Valley to maintain close ties with the US president Donald Trump and his administration.

Corporate Sponsors in the White House Easter Egg Roll 2025

Trump and the first lady Melania Trump will host thousands of visitors to the South Lawn on Monday to experience the annual tradition, which dates back to 1878, as per Business Insider. The event will now include additional activities from technology titans such as Meta, Amazon, YouTube, and even the New York Stock Exchange, according to the report.

Meta, Facebook's parent company, will provide an "AI-Powered Experience and Photo Opportunity," Amazon is providing a reading nook, where families can have a "Family Photo Opportunity Celebrating Reading," and Google-owned YouTube is providing the Bunny Hop Stage for children to meet their favorite creators, reported Business Insider. The New York Stock Exchange will introduce a "Ringing of the Bell Photo Opportunity," as per the report.

A Shift Towards Expanded Branding

While corporate sponsorship is not new to the White House Easter Egg Roll, but the Trump administration has initiated an opening up to more branding possibilities, with sponsorship deals costing anywhere from $75,000 to $200,000, reported Business Insider. The increased sponsorships are a new development for the White House, as per the report.

Executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Donald Sherman told CNN in an interview, "I understand that there are corporate sponsors for the Easter Egg Roll. What I have not seen before is sort of the outright solicitation and the use of the imprimatur of the White House to give corporate sponsorship," quoted Business Insider.

Tech Industry Navigates US-China Trade Tensions

The tech partnerships occur as the technology sector cautiously navigates the escalating trade tensions between the US and China, as per the report. Last week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had highlighted that tech firms would be exempted from retaliatory tariffs for the time being but also cautioned that they may encounter further tariffs in the future, according to Business Insider.
