A fundraiser President Trump is headlining Tuesday night will take place at the Beverly Park mansion of Shari and Edward Glazer, co-chairman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source familiar with security arrangements for the event.

Donors are contributing up to $250,000 each to attend the dinner, with the funds benefiting Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign and various Republican National Committee accounts. The fundraising goal for the event is $5 million.

Glazer, 48, is the son of the late billionaire Malcolm Glazer. In addition to the Bucs, his family owns the Manchester United soccer team. Glazer is also president of First Allied Corp., the family’s real estate company.

Glazer donated $98,000 to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and $250,000 to his inauguration. But he has also supported Democrats. In 2016, he gave $5,400 to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on the same day he donated $33,400 to the Republican National Committee.

Protestors who hoped to rally outside the fundraiser will not be able to get close to the event in Beverly Park, a gated community east of the Beverly Glen neighborhood. Current and former residents of the community include media magnates Sumner Redstone and Haim Saban, and celebrities Denzel Washington, Sylvester Stallone and Rod Stewart. The community is part of the city of Los Angeles, but carries Beverly Hills’ 90210 zip code.

The Glazers’ $22.7-million, 19,313-square foot home was built in 2010, with eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms on nearly three acres.
