Dolly Parton has been trending for a totally non-musical reason, and it’s making everyone very happy.
Her charitable foundation donated a million dollars to Vanderbilt University, which went on to fund Moderna’s reportedly 95 per cent effective vaccine.
When I donated the money to the Covid fund I just wanted it to do good and evidently, it is! Let’s just hope we can find a cure real soon. pic.twitter.com/dQgDWexO0C

Contributing towards the creation of a vaccine is just one of several reasons to love Dolly, just from 2020.

– Given millions of free books to children.
– Started a bedtime reading series for children during Covid.
– Released a new album and Christmas movie.
