Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. World Scouting Movement

Answer: Bear Grylls

Edward Michael "Bear" Grylls was born in the UK in 1974, and became famous for achievements in the outdoors and extreme sports. He climbed Mt. Everest at the age of 23, and became Chief Scout of the UK in 2009, the youngest Briton to achieve both of those milestones as of those dates.

The position of Chief Scout is largely ceremonial, but the UK tends to appoint people who have been active in Scouting as either a youth or adult leader. That is in contrast to the US, where the sitting President is the Chief Scout.
2. UNICEF

Answer: Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was a famous British actress, and the winner of many acting awards. Born into an aristocratic family in 1929, after WW2 her family depended on charity for food and medicine, an experience that made her sympathetic to charitable causes.

Audrey served as a Global Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) from 1988 until 1992, even while battling the cancer that would take her life in 1993.
3. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

Answer: Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is a prominent American movie actress and filmmaker, winner of an Academy Award and a Tony Award, among other accolades. Beginning in the early 2000s, she conducted over 60 field missions to areas of conflict in support of the UNHCR.

The focus of this work is to provide safe places for those displaced by war. She has become a Special Envoy for the UNHCR, expanding her work to the diplomatic level to address refugee issues.
4. No Kid Hungry

Answer: Viola Davis

Viola Davis is an American actress of screen and stage, and a winner of the coveted EGOT: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards. She grew up in poverty, and joined No Kid Hungry to address the issue of childhood malnourishment in the U.S.

This issue worsened during the 2020-2022 COVID pandemic, when Davis was quoted as saying, "The uncertainty of where your next meal will come from is a scary thing, and it consumes every waking moment you have. I still remember what it was like-the stigma attached to it and the shame. That's what so many families are going through right now."
5. Imagination Library

Answer: Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is a music writer and performer, mainly in the Country Music genre, but she was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. True to her roots, Dolly Parton has focused much of her philanthropic work on the poor mountain communities of American Appalachia.

First tackling education in 1988, her Dollywood Foundation has helped to decrease school dropout rates. Her more recent work with Imagination Library provides free age-appropriate books every month to more than 1 million children.
6. amfAR

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor wass a very well-known British and American actor, with a career that started in the 1940s and included many classic films. She responded to the death of her friend, actor Rock Hudson, by funding various efforts to combat Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

In 1985, Taylor was the Founding National Chairman and principal spokesperson of amfAR, originally the American Foundation for Aids Research; since 2005 the group has been named the Foundation for AIDS Research, but still uses the acronym "amfAR".
7. Make-A-Wish Foundation

Answer: John Cena

John Cena is an American athlete who began performing as a professional wrestler in 2001. By 2018 that became a part-time role as he expanded into acting and charitable work.

In 2022, after 20 years with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, he granted his 650th wish, the first individual to reach that milestone. He spends time with children with life-threatening diseases, bringing a ray of joy to their lives.
8. Show Me Campaign

Answer: John Legend

Born John Stephens in 1978, John Legend is an American singer, songwriter, music producer, and actor. He started the Show Me Campaign in 2007, focusing on education for the underprivileged to help break the cycle of poverty.

Other causes of the organization now include FREEAMERICA, which battles mass incarceration in the U.S., and Management Leadership for Tomorrow to help promising minorities to maximize their leadership potential and impact in the community.
9. Git-R-Done Foundation

Answer: Larry the Cable Guy

Comedian Dan Whitney, better known as Larry the Cable Guy, started as a radio host and gained fame as a standup comedian and a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with other comedians that focused on American working-class issues.

His charitable foundation is named for his famous phrase "Git-R-Done", an Americanism meaning "finish that". The G-R-D Foundation was founded by Dan and his wife Cara in 2009, and focuses on helping children and veterans with grants to meet general needs.
10. St. Jude Foundation

Answer: Danny Thomas

Danny Thomas, born Amos Muzyad Yaqoob Kairouz in 1912, was a nightclub comedian, singer, film actor, and producer. Early in his career, Danny Thomas said he prayed to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, saying that if helped he would build a shrine to St. Jude.

In 1962, Thomas built the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The hospital is known for treatment and research into cancer and other diseases, and for not charging a fee to the patients.
