Per the Denver Post, the event was attended by 375 people each donating $2,000.00.
In addition, more than 100 more donors contributed to the event but didn't show up for the reception.
The Post reported that dozens (more than 24?) of other would-be donors tried to attend but were turned away Monday morning because security agents didn't have time to do background checks.
Bush's campaign headquarters phoned former state GOP chairman Bruce Benson in June asking him to prepare for Monday's fundraiser.
Benson was quoted as saying, "They said we want to raise $1 million. We frankly didn't think we'd get that high. But things came together and we beat it".
The Posts goes on to add that the money raised Monday comes in addition to about $150,000 raised so far in Colorado, and to the $40 million Bush already has amassed for his re-election.
BTW, I hope bush can attract more than 350 people to his next benefits, otherwise it sure is going to get lonely out there for him.
