RONALD V. DELLUMS - INAUGURATION AS MAYOR OF OAKLAND - JANUARY 2007 - CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS
City Council Fireworks Here
This is a screen shot of the sponsorship matrix for the upcoming Mayoral Inauguration for Mayor Ron Dellums. The cost range is from $10,000 to $50,000. The second photo shows what benefits each sponsor gets. Actually, the sponsorship package is quite extensive considering the public exposure the event -- or events -- will certainly get.
Oh, if you're saying "I can't read this" just double click on the photo itself, then you'll see it full size for viewing.
As you can see it lists the different events and the costs of sponsorship. I mean look at it this way, it's not taxpayper dollars they're using. Plus, the Black And White Ball, which I referred to, also had sponsors and an extensive cost list. Yet one could get in for a fee, or just sneak in.
Now, some -- including me -- have misunderstood this to mean that the "common folk" can't come, and that doesn't appear to be the case at all; the event planners are just looking for sponsors. But the tickets themselves will go for just $10 and can be purchased online. So as it looks, the Mayoral Party is priced for everyone. But if you don't believe me, check out this from the website:
naugural Gala Reception $150
Gentlemen tuxedo assistance - Ladies formal gown assistance)

Hyphy Soul (VIP) $40
