Dolly Parton announced that she’s donating $1 million to help find a “cure” for the coronavirus and is encouraging her fans to donate if they can as well.
The 74-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a note in which she revealed that she’s been talking with a friend who is involved with research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. She explained that she was inspired to donate after hearing positive things from him as the world continues to hope for an end to the ongoing pandemic.
“My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards that research of the coronavirus for a cure,” she wrote. “I am making a donation of $1 million to Vanderbilt towards that research and to encourage people that can afford it to make donations.”

Do we have a picture of the “excited” Dolly Parton”?
She has a couple of exciting advancements herself.
The one XM radio shows when her music is playing is awful.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the exciting advancements!
Nice gesture. I hope it helps.
You mean she didn’t just sing “Imagine”?
her lungs are likely still in good condition.
I Love Dolly, everyone in E. Tenn. does
She has done tremendous things for her community
And has some serious… Pipes
But she needs to lay off the plastic surgery
and go into GrandMa mode
Shes been doing online reading to little kids. Her books for kids foundation had been giving books for free. Over a million books. More than a pretty face! Nice lady!!!
Me too. Wish I could contribute instead of posting degrading comments like others here. Shame on them.
Dolly is a good person who has used her fame to make the world a better place. Besides, can you imagine that woman with a chest infection? It would be a global disaster!
Did she?
Boatloads of money are being thrown at research. As individuals of modest means - without a million or two just lying about - the best thing to do is help family, friends, or neighbors in need.
Amen.
...the best thing to do is help family, friends, or neighbors in need.
Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself... It has a nice ring to it
Maybe those ARE brains.
It is a nice gesture but she pissed away a million dollars.
Better than Bloomberg pissing away almost $1 Billion in a useless cause
Dolly these days.
