Dolly Parton died today - RIP

[DJ Bebop]

As far as Dolly’s philanthropy,
there was a big flood or fire in Tennessee about 10 years ago, and Dolly gave each family that was affected $25,000.

I’m not 100% sure what the disaster was, but she helped a lot of people.

Does anyone remember this story better than me?

Disaster relief and community aid​

In response to the 2016 Great Smoky Mountains wildfires, Parton was one of the country music artists who participated in a telethon to raise money for victims of the fires.[310] This was held in Nashville on December 9. Parton hosted her own telethon for the victims on December 13[311]and reportedly raised around $9 million.[312] Her fund, the "My People Fund", provided $1,000 a month for six months to over 900 families affected by the wildfires, culminating with $5,000 to each home in the final month due to increased fundraising, totaling $10,000 per family.[313][314]
