Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton will attend a pair of Bay Area fundraisers Friday.

Clinton is scheduled to attend a "Conversation with Hillary" event Friday afternoon in San Francisco hosted by Diana Nelson, chairwoman of the Carlson global hospitality and travel company. Then she'll be at a reception Friday evening in Palo Alto hosted by venture capitalist Greg Sands and his wife, Sarah. A ticket for either event costs $2,700.

Before coming to the Bay Area, Clinton has two fundraisers scheduled for Thursday in Southern California. She'll attend a $2,700-a-head luncheon with Rep. Judy Chu, D-Monterey Park, on Thursday in the San Gabriel Valley, and then a "family celebration" reception Thursday afternoon at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, hosted by television and movie producer Lisa Henson and artist and animator David Pressler; tickets for that range from $500 to $2,700.

Also Thursday, Clinton and Chu -- who chairs the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus -- will hold a morning event in San Gabriel to launch Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders for Hillary. Asian-Americans have emerged as a major voting bloc in battleground swing states including Nevada, Virginia and Florida.
