Background
I recently met the team that runs the National Day Calendar at the TEDx event where I gave the first anon, masked TED talk on Doge and the Meme Revolution.
We’ve been chatting over the past year and I finally got the chance to pitch the Doge Day idea. They are now supportive of making this a reality.
They have created the likes of Avocado Day, Volkswagen Bus day (opening event attended by 10k people in LA), and many others.

Costs
$25,000 – $125,000
Downpayment for packages starting at $25,000, plus $2,500/year renewal.
So, minimum would be $25k + paying for the next 3 years ($7.5k) for $32.5k total.
Max would be $100k ‘kitchen sink’ package with 10 years prepaid of $125,000 total.
I’d prob recommend we settle in the middle with $25k ‘Base Package’ plus 5 years prepaid of renewals ($12,500) for $37,000 total.

Conclusion
Creating the world’s first and official Doge Day falls directly in line with Own The Doge being the Culture DAO of Doge and bringing Doge to where she’s never been before.
Own The Doge would be credited with another wild idea built and served for the greater Doge community joining the likes of Bronze The Doge, the Doge Pilgrimage, the Doge Documentary, the Douch, Doge to Space, and so many other incredible dogely activities that have occurred since The Doge NFT was fractionalized into $DOG for all to own a piece of internet history and contribute to where Doge will go next.
LFD!

Q&A
> What are your biggest success stories?
Recent Success stories include Volkswagen Bus Day, which included worldwide coverage and an amazing event in Huntington Beach CA. Also, National Avocado Day was a hit in its first year. Ellen Degeneres did a bit on her show, and many morning shows across the country did stories on avocados. I expect the same type of coverage will happen for Doge Day.
> Can you offer any higher tier discounts if we go above the $25k? If we prepay for renewal for X years, can you offer discounts?
What we can offer, instead of a discount, is a digitally signed proclamation to all donors if you do the 50K level.
I didn’t realize it cost that much but out of all the other random holidays that exist, I don’t know how this wouldn’t be huge
