With school back in session, Jay-Z is planning a lavish fundraising event later this month for his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.

According to New York’s Daily News, Jay will throw a benefit at Pier 54 in Manhattan on September 29 in an effort to raise funds for youth that cannot afford to go to college.

The event will have a carnival theme with many of the classic rides like the Sizzler and the Zipper as well as gourmet food provided by Momofuku Milk Bar and the Spotted Pig.

With the $1,000 entry fee guests will also have the chance to win prizes, like Nets tickets, Gibson guitars and Hublot Watches.

Those interested in purchasing tickets to the fundraiser can log onto scfcarnival.com. —Elan Mancini
