Rich Raises Big Bucks For St. Jude On Celeb Apprentice

April 4, 2011/by Sarah Skates


John Rich accepts a $5000 donation for St. Jude's on behalf of Trace Adkins.


John Rich was given project manager duties on last night’s (4/3) episode of Celebrity Apprentice, where he rallied friends including previous CA contestant Trace Adkins to line up big donations.
The show’s two teams made art and auctioned it off to benefit their respective charities; Rich’s team was working for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Rich proclaimed to his teammates, “Boys you better turn your umbrellas inside-out ‘cause it’s about to start raining money.”
Adkins, currently overseas on a USO tour, sent Rich’s team $5000. Other Rich associates offered $50,000 for a cowboy hat, and another $50,000 for a pair of cowboy boots. He also sold an Apprentice Gibson guitar that he hand-decorated for a whopping $470,000. Among his compadres who arrived in NYC for the event were Two Foot Fred, Big Six and Charlie.
Donald Trump told the teams that no one in show history has ever raised—even in an entire season—the amount that they raised during that one task.

    John did raise a lot of money for St. Jude, but the Marlee and the women, raise the most money. That was very nice of Trump to throw in the excess that lacked
    1 million dollars.
    I liked Marlee’s decision to also have one of the men fired, which was fair because they did lose three times in a row.
