There are plenty of inspired fundraisers out there, but Illinois Rep. Bill Foster may have the most unique event of the cycle.

The Democrat now in his second stint on Capitol Hill is scheduled to host a trapeze school fundraiser in June, according to an invitation obtained by CQ Roll Call.

Suggested donations range from $500-$5,000.

The race is rated Safe Democratic by Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call, meaning he should win re-election with the greatest of ease.
