Rockers Support Relief Organizations

This year the Celebrity Apprentice had its share of musicians who are actively involved in relief organizations, including iconic 70s rock legend Meat Loaf, Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray, rapper Lil Jon, Motown legend Dionne Warwick and country sensation John Rich.  While the stars were certainly highly competitive in raising money for their various charity organizations, some fared better than others in Donald Trump’s reality TV scenario.

The organizations ranged from St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital to The United Methodist Children’s Home.  At the end of the day, the stars were so supportive of each other’s charities that several of the participants decided to get together to record a single to boost awareness and fundraising for their various charity organizations.  The project included recording a single entitled “Stand in the Storm.”  The proceeds will go to support the charities sponsored by the celebs, including Meat Loaf’s charity, The Painted Turtle, an organization founded by actor Paul Newman as one of his “Hole in the Wall Gang” camps for sick children.  John Rich’s charity is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital; Lil Jon has devoted his time and talent to the United Methodist Children’s Home of North Georgia; and singer Mark McGrath has focused his efforts on raising money for the Save The Music Foundation.

The single, “Stand in the Storm,” was released on May 9^th, 2011 as part of iTunes featured downloads.  Supporters may also donate online to the cause as a whole or to the individual relief organizations.
