According to an invite as reported by Hollywood Reporter, Mark Hamill will moderate a “virtual conversation about hope and democracy.” Tickets will start at $500 per person, and rise to $100,000 for those who want to be listed as co-chairs.
The proceeds of this virtual fundraiser will go to the Joe Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties.
Next week, he will also be raising money with former President Barack Obama, in what is described as a “grassroots” fundraiser with tickets starting at a much lower price point, $15 per person.
