The Life Of Dolly Parton, The Queen Of Country Music

The Dollywood Foundation

Dolly Parton does good things with her money, especially as part of The Dollywood Foundation. The company brings tax revenue and jobs into areas of the country that are considered depressed and revitalizes them through this revenue. In addition, Parton has worked to raise money for HIV/AIDS charities as well as the American Red Cross.

In 2006, she gave $500,000 to a hospital and cancer center that was going to be built in Sevierville. She gave the commencement address in 2009 at the University of Tennessee and told the students to never stop dreaming. Is there anything she doesn’t do?
