Chattanooga businessman John Thornton and his wife, Eileen, will host a fundraiser for presidential candidate Fred Thompson on Sept. 10.
It will be at the Thornton home in Riverview at 12 Rivervista Dr.
The reception begins at 6 p.m.
It is $2,300 per couple.
The former senator is due to officially enter the race for the Republican Party's presidential nomination on Thursday.
He will do so with a video webcast, followed by visits to the early presidential contest states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Chattanoogan Zach Wamp has played a key role in the Thompson effort thus far after helping convince him to make the race.
