Yuna Kim may not be a household name, but she gives a ton to charity. The South Korean skater became the first to take home a medal in the Olympic Games for her sport. After setting multiple world records, including Four Continents Championships and the Grand Prix Final, she decided to retire, which left more time to focus on charities.

She’s been one of the leading voices who has made appeals for the children of Syria through her role as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. She’s also donated hundreds of thousands in relief aid to the Philippines, Haiti, Japan, and made a $100,000 donation to Nepal.
