From what the premieres of Celebrity Apprentice 2012 show, there is going to be some fierce competition between this season's celebrities; which include Clay Aiken, Dee Snider, Debbie Gibson, Penn Jillette,  among others. However, while we may see the best and worst of these celebrities this season, it is important that we recognize that they are competing for some worthy causes. The premieres, such as the one below, honor the mixture of competitiveness and charity;

Reece's Rainbows: The Voice of Orphans with Special Needs Throughout the World

Grab This! There are a lot of sad stories and charities that tug at your heartstrings and purse-strings, but a story featuring  Ukraine Orphans with Down Syndrome being placed in a mental institution with adults at the ages of 4 and 5 really got to me. As much as I'd like to be able to adopt one of these children, I'm not at a place in my life where I can. There are lots of ways to help Reece's Rainbows Adoption Ministry help these children without adopting or giving money on their site, but if you are able there are contacts for that on their website as well. Reece's Rainbow has a page on Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger, too.
