The White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll is set to take place on Monday, with corporate sponsorships being allowed for the first time in the event’s history. Families with children under 13 will be selected from an online lottery to attend the 147th edition of the egg roll with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Companies like YouTube, Meta, and Amazon are sponsoring the event, providing financial support and activities for attendees. The event will include historical activities for children and families to enjoy. Despite supply constraints due to bird flu, the White House Easter egg roll will still use real eggs, with 30,000 eggs donated by farmers for the event. The American Egg Board stressed the importance of celebrating and bringing joy to children and families, especially during difficult times for egg farmers. The event will be live-streamed by USA TODAY for those who wish to watch online. The egg roll has a long history dating back to 1878 when it was first allowed by President Rutherford B. Hayes. This year’s event promises to continue the tradition of bringing joy and celebrating Easter and Passover traditions.
