Donald Trump appears at a rally in Oklahoma City on February 26, 2016.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to attend a private fundraiser in Norman before the University of Oklahoma football team hosts Ohio State.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin will serve as honorary chair for the reception, which is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The location of the event has not been disclosed, but a fundraising email indicates it is within walking distance from the game that kicks off at 6 p.m. at the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The minimum price for a single ticket is $1,000.

Among the event chairs are Continental Resources Chairman and CEO Harold Hamm and Hobby Lobby founder David Green.

Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Pam Pollard says no decision has been made on whether Trump will attend the football game or host any public events.

This will be Trump's fourth stop in Oklahoma as a presidential candidate. He previously held rallies at the Oklahoma State Fair in September 2015, at The Mabee Center in Tulsa in January, and at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma in February.
