DONALD TRUMP (continued)

In addition, Trump rebuilt the Wollman Skating Rink (currently managed by The Trump Organization) in Central Park. This project was particularly special to Trump. The city had been trying for seven years to rebuild and restore the Rink, whereupon Trump interceded and did so in three months and at only 10 percent of the City's $20 million cost.

An accomplished author, Trump's first autobiography, "The Art of the Deal," has become one of the most successful business best-sellers of all time, having sold in excess of three million copies, and being a New York Times number one best-seller for many weeks. The sequel, "Surviving at the Top," was on the New York Times best-seller list and was also a number one best-seller as was his third book, "The Art of the Comeback." Trump's fourth book, "The America We Deserve," is a departure from his past literary efforts. This book deals with issues most important to the American people today and focuses on the views regarding American political, economic and social problems.

His fifth book, "How To Get Rich: Big Deals from the Star of The Apprentice," became an immediate bestseller on all lists.

A native of New York City, Trump is a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance. Involved in numerous civic and charitable organizations, he is a member of the Board of Directors for the Police Athletic League and United Cerebral Palsy. Trump also serves as a Chairman of the Donald J. Trump Foundation as well as Co-chairman and builder of the New York Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund. In 1995, he served as the Grand Marshal of the largest parade ever held in New York, The Nation's Parade, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Trump is a founding member of both the Committee to Complete Construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and The Wharton School Real Estate Center. Trump was also a committee member of the Celebration of Nations commemorating the 50th anniversary of the United Nations and UNICEF. More recently, Trump was designated "The Developer of the Year" by the Construction Management Association of America. In June 2000, he received his greatest honor of all, the Hotel and Real Estate Visionary of the Century, given by the UJA Federation, and in 2003 was named to the Benefactors Board of Directors by the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.
