The leading super PAC supporting President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a $1 million-per-person fundraiser Saturday in Northern Virginia, one day before Trump hosts a high-profile Ultimate Fighting Championship event on White House grounds as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, NBC News reported Tuesday.

The fundraiser, benefiting MAGA Inc., will take place at Trump’s golf club outside Washington, D.C., according to people familiar with the plans. The super PAC has raised $342 million during the current election cycle and is expected to play a significant role in financing Republican efforts in the November midterm elections.

Individuals familiar with both events said the fundraiser and UFC matches are being organized separately. However, some Trump supporters are expected to attend both.

One attendee who plans to participate in the fundraiser and attend the fights said the timing of the events appeared unlikely to be accidental, citing the overlap among major Republican donors.

The UFC event, scheduled on Trump’s 80th birthday, is expected to draw thousands of spectators to the White House South Lawn. The festivities will begin Saturday with a ceremonial weigh-in on the Ellipse, followed by a performance by the Zac Brown Band. The fights are scheduled to begin Sunday evening and continue past midnight.
