'not'/'nor'

Can the word "not" coexist with the word "nor", or does "neither" go with "nor"? Are both examples below correct? Sentence two is more concise, but is sentence one okay grammatically with "not"/"nor"? Does sentence one have an error in parallelism, and if so how would you correctly write it and include the words "not" and "nor"?

1. I am not planning on attending the fundraiser, nor am I going to make a charitable contribution.
2. I am neither attending the fundraiser nor making a contribution.

Thanks.
