President Barack Obama and J. Cole will be the special guests of a Democratic National Committee fundraising event during SXSW weekend in Austin, Texas. The event will be hosted by will.i.am and Will “Whurley” Hurley of Honest Dollar.
As reported by VIBE, President Obama and J.Cole will be the big features for the affair, which kicks off on March 11. To get in the building, it’s going to cost you $250, and the next level up will be $500. If you want to get a photo next to the president, that’ll run you $10,000 and if you’re balling, $33,400 gets you a co-host seat.
Hurley, the founder and CEO of the employee retirement company Honest Dollar, posted a tweet with details of the event and a link to RSVP.
