Vince Carter may be better-known for his scoring, but the NBA star and Mainland High School graduate will be looking to make an assist to President Barack Obama by hosting a fundraising dinner at his Windermere home during the NBA All-Star Weekend.
Cost of admission: $30,000.
Attorney John Morgan, a big Democratic Party fundraiser, is organizing the evening he described as "a once in a life time event," in an email to invitees.
"The room will be filled with NBA hall of famers and future hall of famers and some musical superstars," he said.
About 40 guests are expected at the Feb. 23 party, three days before the NBA all-star game is played in Orlando. The fundraiser will support the Barack Obama Victory Fund.
Carter, who graduated from Mainland in 1995 after leading the Buccaneers to a state championship, played two seasons for the Orlando Magic, from 2009 to 2011, and now plays for the Dallas Mavericks.
