Sponsor Levels and Benefits


Join us for Once Upon a Time at Fairyland, our 75th Anniversary gala fundraiser, on May 21, 2025, and find your place in something bigger. Our theme—Infinite Imagination—speaks to the possibilities, magic, and beauty of childhood and our role in supporting future generations of kids who look up at the night sky and dare to dream.

Sponsorship makes magic possible—for Fairyland, for Oakland and Bay Area families, and for sponsors! You'll receive a number of benefits at each level and have the opportunity to connect with the unique Fairyland community through gala sponsorship. Look through the list below for the level that is right for you, then complete your sponsorship by clicking "Join Us!" in the menu above.
