"Dolly Parton gave the world the gift of reading and a COVID-19 vaccine" 🔹The Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library provide scholarships and books to children worldwide. 🔹Dolly Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine research.

Imagination Library: A black-and-white portrait of a smiling Dolly Parton. The text notes that she launched the program in 1995 to mail free books to children up to age 5. By June 2025, it had gifted over 284 million books globally, with no income requirements or qualifications.

Funding the COVID Vaccine: A color photograph of Dolly Parton at a microphone. The text states that in April 2020, less than a month after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to fund Moderna's vaccine research, later getting her own shot on camera.
