The first gathering is a dinner at the home of Jon Corzine, the former governor and senator from New Jersey. The second event is a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. A Democratic source with knowledge of the events says there will be approximately 400 people at the first two events. After the two dinners, the president heads to the Town Hall, a theater hall in midtown Manhattan. Approximately 1,300 guests are expected to attend the third event, with The Roots, a hip hop/neo soul band, performing.
"The events are designed to include the broad range of the president's supporters with tickets starting at $44 and ranging to the legal maximum limit of $35,800," the source tells CNN.
All of the money raised is expected to be contributed to the Obama Victory Fund, which is split between the presidents re-election compaign and the Democratic National Committee. These event bring to an end the President's first round of headlining fundraisers. Obama announced on April 4th that he was setting up his re-eleciton campaign.
