California Police Youth Charities Thanks Brande Roderick Print E-mail

California Police Youth CharitiesCalifornia Police Youth Charities was selected by Actress/Model Brande Roderick to be the recipient of money raised on the hit reality show Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice. The season kicked off on March 1, 2009.

Brande, who stars on the show for the Athena Team, was named Project Manager for the episode airing March 15th. The task was to sell wedding dresses and Brande stepped up to take on the challenge, leading her women’s team to a lopsided victory over the men.

CPYC was shocked, to say the least, when we watched the episode and realized that Brande had raised $167,666.00 for our charity. The amount of money raised could not have come at a more opportune time, as the economy has really made fundraising difficult this past year. The money raised will literally save the organization from cutting programs aimed at keeping “at risk” kids occupied with productive activities run by positive role models.

Exclusive Interview: Brande Roderick, From 'The Celebrity Apprentice 2' Print E-mail

BuddyTV Exclusive Interview with Brande Roderick

Kim Wetter, BuddyTV Staff Columnist

Original version with audio - http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-apprentice/exclusive-interview-brande-rod-27023.aspx

So let's start with the basics: How'd you get involved in The Celebrity Apprentice?

I got involved with The Celebrity Apprentice because they had called my agent and apparently Donald Trump was a fan of mine, which was exciting, and he wanted me to be on the show so I went and met with the producers of the show. I told them all about my business skills and the businesses that I run and I got the job!

Did you know whom you were going to be competing against before you started?

Well, I did know of one for sure because we have the same agent. I knew about Dennis and there were a few others that I knew about because I was friends with people before I went on the show. So there were just a few that I knew and the few that they knew, of course they told me.

What Donald Trump had to say about working with Brande Print E-mail
As an actress and a Bussinesswoman, Brande Roderick brings a solid background to The Celebrity Apprentice as well as a beautiful presence.  Her demeanor combines intelligence with savvy, and her physical attributes serve to enhance her many talents.  Brande's entrepreneurial skills are significant, and I think we can expect a lot more from her in the future. Brande has a great mix of individual leadership skills along with team spirit, which was evident while watching her during The Celebrity Apprentice.  This is a winning combination and I was pleased with her performance throughout the season. Long term success will not be a problem with Brande.

Also joining the cast are basketball legend Dennis Rodman, funny man Tom Green, country star Clint Black, ice skating legend Scott Hamilton, comedian Andrew Dice Clay and even Joan’s daughter, Melissa Rivers.

The Playmate Turned Business Woman Print E-mail

The Playmate Turned Business Woman
By: Danny Stewart

Brande Roderick represents what is becoming the leading and driving force in Hollywood; The Business Woman.  What Brande is most notably known for is her acting career and being Playboy’s 2001 Playmate of the Year.  She has starred in many television and movie titles from Baywatch to the 2006 remake of Starsky and Hutch, and her latest endeavor; Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice Season 2 set to air sometime after the New Year.


In the Apprentice Brande hopes to introduce to the world what she is most proud of her philanthropist work.  Any given Sunday you can find Brande and her husband Glenn Cadrez (former NFL player) taking a group of less fortunate children to A San Diego Charger’s Game on behalf of California Police Youth Charity (CYPC).  “These are children whom never been to an NFL game and they are not only here for the 1st time, but they are meeting the players, getting autographs, and just smiling” says Brande.


Brande the business woman started her first company in 2000 which was a television production company called She-Ra Productions. Since then Brande has been involved with many more companies and projects.  Her newest venture is Financially Hung, Inc. where she sits as CEO and majority owner.


Under the Guidance of Brande Roderick Financially Hung is taking the idea of business networking, online social sites, and celebrity red carpet events and combining them all to create the ultimate experience.  Financially Hung is a private membership company for business professionals that offers an online networking site (http://www.financiallyhung.com) where you can meet other business individuals who are looking to expand their contacts and their businesses.  Brande realized that Financially Hung has to be more than just another social site or networking club. “We have to stand out more so than our name, so we are taking our members on the red carpet…literally,” explains Brande.


Brande and Financially Hung now host some of the biggest and most posh red carpet events in cities such as Beverly Hills, Hollywood, San Diego, Las Vegas and more. The best part is you as a member have the opportunity to attend these events and meet Brande and all her celebrity friends in person. Brande calls it networking at its finest where “sometimes it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Financially Hung is currently in full swing planning their biggest party of the year, Game Day at the Playboy Mansion (for more details go to http://www.gamedayattheplayboymansion.com) that also benefits CPYC.  The event draws a large celebrity crowd with acts like Bret Michaels of Poison and Vh1’s Rock of Love performing live.


With Financially Hung growing in popularity and size Brande is taking the company to the next level with a full clothing line for the company set to release right before Christmas aimed at both men and women.  Brande says, “The clothing line will combine the latest trends in the fashion industry and a Financially Hung flare.” The clothing will first be available exclusively at financiallyhung.com and will soon begin to make appearances at department stores.


Brande Roderick is a true work horse who not only aims to keep growing both her acting career and her businesses, but also help those in need along the way.  There is no stop in sight for her as she represents The Business Woman.
