The Exceptional Foundation of Baldwin County is hosting Palin for a May 3 fundraiser, the group announced Wednesday. A Palin aide did not immediately respond to confirm the details of the event.

“Governor Palin’s youngest son Trig was born with Down syndrome and she has kindly agreed to help us launch fundraising for our organization,” the group said on its website. “The event also will help focus attention on special needs people in this part of Alabama.”
Palin rarely express interest in leaving Alaska for political events but has frequently made long trips from her Wasilla home to help groups for special needs children.
