This week you could spend $20 to see Boyz II Men at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, or you can pay up to $50,000 to see the ‘90s R&B group at Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister’s upcoming campaign fundraiser.
Since the Republican sheriff is up for reelection, the Friends of Chad Chronister group recently announced a high-priced, invite-only, fundraiser at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa on November 1, from 6 p.m-9 p.m.
According to a flyer obtained by Florida Politics, the event will include a performance by Boyz II Men, known for songs like "I'll Make Love to You," and an appearance by Eddie DeBartolo, the San Francisco 49ers owner who plead guilty in the 1998 corruption case of former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards. DeBartolo was also accused of sexual assault in 1992. Though he was never charged, DeBartolo reportedly paid $200,000 to settle out of court.
A pair of tickets for the event start at $2,500, but high rollers can throw down $50,000, which includes 12 tickets, photos with DeBartolo and Boyz II Men, as well some serious face time with the Chron himself.
