BlockBeats News, June 15, U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill for the soldiers, tanks, and aircraft deployed in this Trump military parade, but several major tech companies have already funded the celebratory events along the route.
According to a recent statement from the "America250" Foundation, companies like Oracle, Amazon, Coinbase, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir are key sponsors of this nonprofit organization designated by Congress to raise funds for the U.S. 250th anniversary celebrations.
Although the 250th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence won't officially occur until July 4, 2026, the America250 Foundation—chaired jointly by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios and former Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita—has already arranged for audience receptions and festivities for this Saturday's contentious military parade.
In the weeks leading up to the parade, America250’s official website also listed Meta as one of its highest-tier sponsors. A May 22 press release mentioned Meta as a sponsor and announced that American automotive brands Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram had joined as partners.
