New York (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton will host a high-dollar fundraiser for Sen. Mary Landrieu, an embattled Democratic incumbent who finds herself behind in a closely watched runoff to reelection.

The Dec. 1 event, which will be hosted at the New York City home of Sarah & Victor Kovner, longtime Clinton supporters, will boost Landrieu's coffers after she was unable to best her opponent Bill Cassidy on Election Day. Polls currently show the Republican with a sizable lead in the runoff.

Tickets to the event start at $1,000 and go up to $12,000. The event is being branded as "Cocktails with Hillary Rodham Clinton in support of Sen. Mary Landrieu."

"Sarah & Victor Kovner Invite you to join them for cocktails in support of SENATOR MARY LANDRIEU (LA), Featuring Special Guest HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON," reads the web invite.

This is not the first time that Clinton campaigned for Landrieu.

Just days before Election Day, Clinton headlined a rally in New Orleans for Landrieu and urged voters to remember the senator's record when they go to the ballot box. In particular, Clinton highlighted Landrieu's response in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina almost 10 years ago.

"She was relentless," Clinton said, noting that she and Landrieu were in the Senate at the time. "You learn a lot about a person and a leader in a moment like that. And I saw Mary in action, no cameras, no attention, just focused like a laser to take care of her people."

Clinton was very active during the 2014 election, which turned out to be disastrous for Democrats. Shortly after the election, a Clinton spokesman did not rule out helping Landrieu.
