Dolly Parton is trending online this week for her $1 million donation towards research in the search for a cure for COVID-19. Fact-checking this was worth it just to see @DollyParton in the acknowledgments of a @NEJM article. And I thought I couldn’t love her more. “I just hope we find a cure real soon.”Parton is known for her philanthropic nature, having set up the Dollywood Foundation which has, in the past, donated money to families affected by fires in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee area. She’s also at the helm of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library - “a book gifting program which mails high-quality, free books to more than a million children around the world each month,” the foundation’s website states.
