An avid basketball fan, Obama will attend a dinner Thursday at Carter's house just three days before the NBA's All-Star Game in nearby Orlando.
Also Thursday, Obama will not only speak at the University of Miami, he will also attend a fundraising reception at the Biltmore Hotel and at the Coral Gables home of lawyer Chris Korge, a top fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
Obama last week was on a three-day West Coast trip where he raised about $8 million in eight campaign events.
