Former President George W. Bush is slated to headline a fundraiser in Houston on Wednesday for his brother's presidential campaign, according to an invitation.

The luncheon and discussion at the Westin Galleria comes as George W. Bush assumes an increased role in raising cash for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who, thus far, has struggled to distance himself from his family's legacy, though he has benefited from its vast donor network.

The event, which begins at 11 a.m., costs $10,000 to chair and $2,700 to attend, according to the invitation. Those who raise $10,000 are invited to breakfast with Jeb and Columba Bush in Houston on Oct. 26.

On Monday, Jeb Bush is scheduled to address the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Houston.

In April, prior to announcing his candidacy, Jeb Bush courted a group of Hispanic evangelicals in Houston, discussing border control and a path to legalization for undocumented workers.
