Former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson is headlining next week's Rainbow Omega annual fundraising event in Oxford.

Carlson, who has made national headlines for his termination by Fox News this week, is the featured speaker for the fundraiser.

The event is set for May 4 at 7 p.m. at the Oxford Performing Arts Center.

The proceeds raised from the event will go toward adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Per its website, Rainbow Omega, Inc. was incorporated in 1991. Rainbow Omega opened its first two group homes in 1995 to serve 16 residents. Since then, the institution's operations have grown to serve 88 individuals.

Rainbow Omega's stated mission is: "To glorify God by ensuring that adults with developmental disabilities have a permanent and safe home where their abilities and potentials are respected and nurtured in a Christian environment."

Tickets for the event range from $50-$125 and can be purchased here.
