Billionaire businessman Bill Koch and his wife Bridget are hosting a $2,700-a-head fundraiser for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at their home on Cape Cod on Saturday.
Koch is part of the wealthy family who owns Koch Industries, and he also founded his own energy company. He co-chaired a campaign to oppose Cape Wind, a proposed offshore wind farm off of Cape Cod.
Two of Bill Koch's brothers, Charles and David Koch, are prominent conservative donors who have said they will not support Trump.
Trump will attend the 6 p.m. fundraiser at the Koch home in Oyster Harbors and participate in a photo opportunity and VIP reception for major donors. Donation levels range from $2,700 for the general reception to $100,000 per couple to be co-chairs.
Former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican who also ran for U.S. Senate from New Hampshire and has been supporting Trump, is listed as a special guest.
Also listed on the invitation are Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and top finance officials from Trump's campaign.
In addition to the Kochs, event chairs include Darlene and Jerry Jordan, prominent Republican donors from Boston, and Ann and Charles Talanian, of the C. Talanian real estate development company in Boston.
Conservative radio host Howie Carr is on the host committee along with Republican State Committee members Amy Carnevale, Janet Fogarty and others.
