First Lady Michelle Obama travels to New York City on Monday for two high-dollar 2012 fundraising events with celebrities, and to film her first appearance on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman. In addition to discussing President Obama's re-election effort, Mrs. Obama will tell Letterman about her Joining Forces initiative to support military families, and her plans for the project's one-year anniversary in April.At 6:00 PM, the First Lady will headline a reception at Robert De Niro's Tribeca restaurant Locanda Verde, co-hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. The event is also co-hosted by Star Jones, actors Angela Bassett, Lynn Whitfield, and Alfre Woodard; Tina Knowles, mom of Beyonce; and Tonya Lewis Lee, wife of film director Spike Lee. Tickets for the 6:00 PM event start at $5,000 and go up to $25,000. More details here.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Obama will bowl for dollars at a "Family Game Night" event at 3:30 PM at 300 New York - Chelsea Piers, hosted by Victor Cruz, wide receiver for the New York Giants, and NFL's Wale Ogunleye, who formerly played for the President's beloved Bears. $5,000 gets VIP status, which "includes photo reception and bowling shoes for up to five." More details here. The President was in Chicago and Atlanta last Friday, raising money at five different events, while Mrs. Obama was in Minneapolis, Minnesota at two fundraisers.
Mrs. Obama's debut on Letterman follows a sweep of the talk show circuit earlier this year to discuss the two-year anniversary of the Let's Move! campaign, making appearances on Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on Rachael Ray Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, as well as on Top Chef.
