Obama is scheduled to headline four fundraisers Thursday, two in Silicon Valley and two in Los Angeles.
Organizers say singer John Legend is on tap to perform at one of the Los Angeles events.
While in Los Angeles, the president planned to tape an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that's to air Friday.
