President Donald Trump is returning to South Florida next month for a fundraiser at his Doral resort.

The president is heading to Tampa July 31 and then to the Miami area Aug. 1 to raise money for his presidential campaign, according to an alert circulated by a GOP fundraiser and viewed by the Miami Herald. A person familiar with the Miami event said the fundraiser will be held at the Trump National Doral Miami.

Both events offer various levels of access to Trump, with a roundtable, photo and reception with the president for $100,000, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, which first reported the trip.

The visit will be Trump’s second stint in his home state in three weeks, following a July 10 stop in South Florida, during which he visited the U.S. Southern Command, held a Venezuela roundtable and attended a high-dollar fundraiser in Hillsboro Beach. Trump made a brief, unscheduled stop at his Doral resort during the day trip.

Trump will return to Florida again in late August for the Republican National Convention in Jacksonville.
