Matthew McConaughey is as famous for his numerous offscreen activities as his onscreen, including his role as “Minister of Culture” for the future University of Texas at Austin sports arena, minority of owner Austin FC, and creative director at Wild Turkey distillery. While these side projects all highlight his sense of fun, none reveal his heart as much as the actor’s “Give Thanks” charity campaign.
For several years running, McConaughey and his team partnered with California-based Operation BBQ relief, which has made hundreds of turkey dinners for first responders.
