If you want some face time with Donald Trump, all you need to do is be a millionaire donor to “sportman’s charities.”
According to a brochure for the Opening Day Foundation, $1 million “Bald Eagle” donors will be able to be part of a private reception with Trump and get some other exclusive treatment the day after the inauguration.
These top donors will also have several days of access to Eric and Donald Trump Jr. They will get tickets to a “Camouflage & Cufflinks” gala as well. But the goodies don’t end there. These donors will also receive autographed guitars from famous performers Toby Keith and Alabama.

If you don’t have $1 million to spend and can only pull together $500,000, you will be considered a “Grizzly Bear” donor, who will also get private access to Trump, some party invitations as well as a hunting trip with either Eric or Donald Jr..
There are also lesser prestigious donor levels that will still get you in the door with VIP access to the Jan. 21st party.
There is no getting around the fact that one has to spend big bucks to get into anything surrounding the inauguration. These events cost tens of millions of dollars to set up and often involve private fundraising efforts.
According to the committee, they will not be accepting any money from lobbyists.
Opening Day has stated that they plan to “celebrate the great American tradition of outdoor sporting, shooting, fishing and conservation.”
Many are concerned that the Trump children, who have been part of major transition meetings, are granting access to the soon-to-be president in exchange for money.
The Eric Trump Foundation had plans to auction off coffee with Ivanka, and the auction had climbed into the tens of thousands of dollars. The event was later canceled once The New York Times reported on it.
