Clay Aiken will be testing his mental mettle against a group of brainy fifth graders. Aiken is slated to appear on the upcoming celebrity version of Fox's hit game show, "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"
Aiken will be playing to raise money for The Bubel/Aiken Foundation (TBAF), which will receive a minimum $25,000 for Clay's appearance. But Aiken plans on earning much more for his foundation. The Foundation earns money for each question Clay answers correctly. Should he correctly answer all 11 questions, the Foundation will earn one million dollars.
"We're excited about Clay's appearance on the show to fundraise for the Foundation. Fox has given us a great opportunity to move closer to our goal of 100 Let's ALL Play camps in 2008. Clay's appearance will also gain exposure for our goals of full inclusion. Of course we're hoping to win the million, but Clay's being part of their hit show will be great for the Foundation either way," said Jerry Aiken, executive director, TBAF.
