Donald, Melania Trump to visit Naples this weekend for private event: What to know

Former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania will travel across the state for an event Sunday night in Naples.

The couple plans to attend the Classical Education Network Christmas Celebration starting at 7 p.m. A website, aclassicalchristmas.com, announcing the Dec. 4 private event says a portion of funds collected will benefit hurricane relief efforts in Southwest Florida. It did not specify the portion percentage.

"Don't miss the Holiday Event of the Year in sunny Naples, Florida," the site said.

"With sunshine over your head, and presents under the tree, this event will give you a lifetime of festive memories! Tickets are extremely limited."

The event announcement also said the Classical Education Network, in partnership with The Optima Foundation, offers a tuition-free classical education to students in grades K-12.

"Proceeds will fund new school choice options and provide additional support to our incredible educators who are shaping the minds and hearts of future American leaders, primarily in the Fort Myers area ravaged by Hurricane Ian," the website read.

The Classical Education Network is Erika Donalds' company. She is also the president and founder of the Optima Foundation. Donalds is a former Collier County school board member.

Here's what to know about the evening:

How much will it cost to see The Trumps and meet with them?

$10,000 — Access to the party and one photo taken with the Trumps.

$20,000 — Couple package includes party access and one photo taken with the Trumps.

$30,000 — Family (up to four people) will have party access and one photo taken with the 45th president and former first lady.

And all ticket sales are nonrefundable.

Where will Trump event be held?

The website doesn't give an exact address, only saying it will be in Naples, Florida, and the "exact location will be released to attendees closer to the event."

"For travel accommodations, the event location is approximately 30 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport — Fort Myers (RSW); approximately 15 minutes from the Naples Botanical Garden; approximately 15 minutes from downtown Naples," the site said.

Are background checks required?

Yes, they're required by the U.S. Secret Service.

"If you are ejected from the event as a security risk, for a felonious background finding, or for any other risky behavior, a refund will not be issued and this is a final sale," the site said.

Can you bring a cell phone?

No phones or photography are permitted while the guest speakers are in attendance. And for anyone who brings a phone, it will be collected upon entry and returned when guests leave.

Once the guest speakers (presumably the Trumps) leave, phones will be returned.

What is the dress code?

Cocktail attire, jacket and tie for the men. The site doesn't list a dress code for women.
