Scott Kolbrenner was a big winner on Thursday's "Wheel of Fortune," but as we learned in the player introductions, he's also a great guy. He is a longtime volunteer for Uplift Family Services at Hollygrove.

"Hollygrove is a wonderful place," said Kolbrenner. "It's dedicated to helping kids excel and grow. And their families as well - mental health and other services for them."

The Uplift Family Services at Hollygrove program may already have a list of famous supporters and volunteers, but that list just got a little longer. Wheel of Fortune revealed on Twitter that Scott donated his entire $145,000 in winnings.

"Scott has pledged to donate all of his winnings to Uplift Family Services and L.A. Regional Food Bank!" the tweet read. "Way to give back! What a generous gesture! Such good fortune all the way around."
