ASPEN, Colo. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is slated to attend a sold-out, high-dollar fundraiser in Aspen on Saturday hosted by more than a dozen wealthy GOP donors, according to invitations to the event.

Billed as a dinner and roundtable with the former president, the fundraiser features tickets priced from $25,000 to $500,000 per couple.

An invitation to the fundraiser was posted online by the Republican Party of Orange County. The event was first reported by The Aspen Times.

It will be Trump's first publicly announced visit to Colorado this election cycle. His most recent appearance in the state was a February 2020 rally in Colorado Springs.

Among the hosts of the fundraiser are Denver-based homebuilder Larry Mizel and his wife, Carol. Mizel, the founder of MDC Holdings and a 2016 co-chair of Trump's Colorado campaign, hosted fundraisers for Trump in Denver and Aspen in 2016. One of Colorado's leading contributors to national Republican candidates and committees, Mizel gave maximum donations to former Vice President Mike Pence's presidential campaign before Pence withdrew from the race and Trump claimed the GOP nomination.
