SANTA MONICA, CA - On Thursday, December 16, one lucky contestant on the NBC-TV phenomenon "The Apprentice" will receive the opportunity of a lifetime when Donald Trump utters the words we've all been waiting for: "You're hired!" Fans of the hit series might not be able to work for Mr. Trump, but there's still a way to get close to that boardroom. "The Apprentice" has partnered with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation to list props and memorabilia from the show in a charity auction, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Immediately following the east coast airing of the show's two-hour live finale on Thursday, December 16 (9 PM - 11 PM (ET/PT)), viewers can log on to www.Apprentice-auction.com or on to eBay, The World's Online Marketplace(R) (www.ebay.com), and bid on unique items. The charity auctions will run from December 16th - 29th, 2004.

"Both Donald Trump and I strongly believe that investing in charitable causes is just good business," said Mark Burnett, executive producer of "The Apprentice," and board member of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. "We are so pleased to offer memorabilia from the show to raise funds for such a worthy cause. Each time someone bids on Apprentice props and memorabilia they are ensuring a healthier future for children worldwide. To date, the partnership has raised more than $200,000 for the Foundation."
