CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Feb 22, 2012) - Good Sam, one of America's most recognized organizations today announced their selection in the fifth installment of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice" featuring American business mogul Donald J. Trump.
Good Sam was chosen among several Fortune 500 companies to be featured as a task sponsor on a 2012 segment on the popular NBC reality series. The episode will highlight some of the many benefits and services Good Sam provides to the community.
Donald Trump commented, "Good Sam, one of the world's largest lifestyle organizations, provides a wide and wonderful array of products and services, and we are very pleased to have them on our show." Trump continued, "I think the episode is exciting and definitely a great fit for our audiences."
On the reality show, the contestants vie for strategic position, with competitive payoffs coming in the form of sizable donations to their designated charities. The contestant chosen as Celebrity Apprentice receives a $250,000 bonus check to donate to his or her favorite philanthropy.

Look forward to seeing Good Sam reveal a new image to the audience."
Founded in 1966, Good Sam is based loosely on the iconic Good Samaritan who offered to help a traveler in need. Good Sam's now-iconic halo and wide grin still signify camaraderie among members and their willingness to offer aid to fellow citizens.
