The Food Allergy & Anaphlaxis Network (FAAN) reports that country music star Trace Adkins will be part of the celebrity line-up in Donald Trump's TV show The Celebrity Apprentice, which debuts tonight at 9:00 PM EST on NBC. The celebrities will be competing for the charities of their choice.

"I decided to do this show because I wanted to help raise awareness for the Food Allergy Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN)," says Adkins, who has a daughter with severe food allergies. "I don’t think many people are aware that so many children are developing food allergies these days. Something we’re doing has to be causing this and we’ve got to figure out what it is."
