FIRST and The Georgia Aquarium are non-profit educational/inspiration institutions. As such they cannot really 'sponsor' something but they can partner together. A little semantics here.
Both events are literally next to each other. There is a relationship between the two groups. For example the VIP dinner is at the aquarium. This is where the key FIRST people and the major sponsors can meet and greet and learn more about FIRST programs. Sponsor development is important not only to teams but to FIRST.
While the VIP dinner is going on the aquarium is having a special evening for FIRST students to attend at a much lower price. $ 13 versus the usual $ 27. Only 5,000 people will be admitted.
The costs of entry is paid by individuals or teams, not FIRST.
