The latest effort: Cast members from the hit TV series The Wire will mingle with Obama supporters who donate $500 to attend a reception at the Martha's Vineyard home of Judy and Ron Davenport, founders of Pittsburgh-based Sheridan Broadcasting. The event will be held Aug. 15 according to an invitation posted on Obama campaign website. (Obama is not expected to attend.)
The reception is one of several upcoming events this summer featuring celebrities. Gwen Stefani and members of her band No Doubt are set to hold a family-oriented fund-raiser at Stefani's Beverly Hills home with Michelle Obama.
