The Oakland Inaugural Committee Fund 2025 is fundraising for Mayor Barbara Lee's inauguration celebration set for June 8 at Jack London Square. High-level sponsorship packages allow donor benefits such as reserved seating and private receptions, with lower tiers available for smaller donations. The event, while public and free, offers exclusive perks to higher-tier sponsors, which raises questions about equity and access. A day of service will precede the celebration, emphasizing community values. Lee's office indicates there will be an additional recognition event for sponsors.
For $100,000 - the "It's All Love in Oakland" package - a donor gets 25 inauguration passes with reserved seats, special acknowledgment on event materials, and a "private reception" with a reserved table.
There will be a separate, invitation-only event to recognize community members and sponsors who supported the inauguration ceremony, and that the mayor has been invited to attend.
