How Long Will This Tabard Society Founder Last Against Trump?

When one Penn alum checks in on another Penn alum...

Did you catch the very Penn alumni-filled Apprentice on Sunday night?

Donald Trump (W'68), Ivanka Trump (W'04) and Don Trump Jr. (W'00) were dishing out tasks to the new cast of The Celebrity Apprentice, which included Melissa Rivers (Tabard Founder, C'89).

And although he never made an appearance, Donny Deutsch (C'79) sent someone from his company with a very generous check to buy a single cupcake!

Watch below to see how much he donated and at what point his check finally made its way down to team KOTU!

Wharton Family fired up for a new "celebrity" season

Did you catch The Celebrity Apprentice last night?

Wharton alumni Donald Trump (W'68), Ivanka Trump (W'04), and Don Trump Jr. (W'00) are back for a seventh season (Thursdays, 9pm NBC) with a whole new twist where celebrities play to earn money for their charities.

Having been a fan of the show and a former web producer for the Yahoo! Apprentice site, I've got to say from what I can tell, this season is pretty good. Mostly because of the personalities of the attention seeking Omarosa, the somewhat cocky Piers Morgan and the crass Gene Simmons. The best part of the show so far is watching Trump and these "celebrities" (and I'll use that term loosely) interact. While these celebrities will be playing for charity, it will be interesting to see how the season pans out when the stakes to become the winner aren't as personally high to these celebrities as compared to past season's candidates. Also, I do think the show works better back in New York. What do you think?

Per NBC.com, The Celebrity Apprentice has a whole new slant this season:
"Contestants will not be vying for a job with Donald Trump, but the business-savvy celebrity contestants will be working towards a greater goal -- as they raise over a million dollars for their various charities throughout the season. Not only will the final winner be crowned the first 'Celebrity Apprentice,' but he or she will also have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.

All 14 celebrities will be competing in business-driven tasks around New York City, using their fame along with their proven business acumen to win challenges, while ultimately raising money and awareness for their respective causes.

Just as in the regular "Apprentice," the celebrities will be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers, and personal assistants.

Certain tasks encourage the contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations -- making for entertaining surprise visits by some of the world's biggest stars along the way.

All of the tasks will be judged by Trump and his advisors in the boardroom. Returning back to the boardroom are Trump's children (and colleagues) Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., alongside longtime Trump Organization employee and "Apprentice" advisor George Ross. In a new twist, the boardroom will feature a "rotating seat," allowing a variety of famous business leaders and industry legends to join Trump in spirited judgment on tasks for the first time in the series."

(l-r) Ted Lansky, C'64 (an all-American wrestler while at Penn), Penn friend Mike Shockro,
and the leader of the race and the scholarship fundraising, Bruce Lederman, W'64.

On September 27th, three University of Pennsylvania alumni ended their cross-country bike race (3,050 miles from Santa Monica, CA to Penn!!) against a four-man team of Bucknell alums to raise $1 million in scholarship funds for each university to support outstanding students who would otherwise be unable to afford a Penn education.from low-income backgrounds.

...And we've got the finish line video thanks to Kiera Reilly, C'93, Director Alumni Education & Travel, Penn's West Coast Office.

Talk about endurance and dedication!

The race started on Sept. 9 and honored the memory of Ed Zolla, W'68. Ed had planned to make this ride but passed away unexpectedly at age 58 last year. I knew Ed from the Penn Club of Los Angeles and he certainly had great Penn spirit! It's great to see such a dedicated group of Penn alumni honoring his memory.
