Give Like Dolly - Middle Tennessee

Middle Tennessee

Carrying On Her Kindness

This September, Middle Tennesseans, Nashville visitors and Dolly fans everywhere are invited to come together and Give Like Dolly.

Beginning Friday, September 25, join us for a three-day celebration of the generosity and kindness Dolly Parton has shared throughout her life. Whether you call Middle Tennessee home, are visiting Music City for the weekend or simply love Dolly and what she stands for, there is a place for you in this celebration.

Give Like Dolly – Middle Tennessee will make it easy to support local nonprofits working in areas close to Dolly’s heart, from helping children succeed and neighbors in need to supporting healing, creativity and a lifelong love of reading. The nonprofits benefiting through each giving pillar, along with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee, will be revealed soon.

And because September 25 is 9/25, there may be no better day to turn a little 9 to 5 into a whole lot of good.
