Countdown to 5th Grader Continues; TBAF Pledge Challenge Surpasses $66,000

Clay will be in Los Angeles on Tuesday to tape his highly anticipated celebrity appearance on FOX's hit quiz show, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader where he will be playing for the Bubel Aiken Foundation. Not only will it be great exposure for the foundation, the TBAF will be guaranteed to walk away with $25,000 and might even receive $1,000,000 if Clay answers all 11 questions posed to him correctly.

Meanwhile, the Bubel Aiken Foundation's 5th Grader pledge challenge is surpassing the $65,000 mark! WOW! Clay Aiken fans and BAF supporters across the nation are pledging to make a monetary donation to the BAF for every question Clay answers correctly. For example, if you pledge $5 for every question Clay answers correctly, and Clay answers 5 questions correctly during Tuesday's taping, you will be making a $25 donation to the TBAF.

Send in your pledges to pledge@bubelaiken.org. You will be able to donate to the foundation through the internet or by mail after the taping on Tuesday.

The deadline for pledges have been extended to Tuesday, August 27.
