Dolly Parton is a global icon, whose influence has transcended the music industry, touching the lives of millions around the globe. Her contributions are not just limited to her unforgettable music but also extend to her philanthropy, advocacy, and unwavering spirit of kindness and generosity. Despite her immense contributions, it feels like we were robbed of the chance to celebrate her while she continues to give so much.

Dolly has broken barriers in country music and beyond, with hits like "Jolene," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You." She has not only provided us with an extraordinary musical legacy but has also devoted her life to making the world a better place. Her Imagination Library, which has distributed over 150 million books to children worldwide, is just one of the many initiatives that reflect her dedication to supporting education and literacy.

Yet, her impact isn't confined to humanitarian work alone. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dolly stepped up once again, donating $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to help fund research efforts for a vaccine. Through her continuous acts of kindness and advocacy for equality and education, she embodies the spirit of compassion and perseverance.

Creating National Dolly Parton Day internationally on August 25th would serve as a tribute to her lifelong dedication to humanity and the arts, offering a day for fans, communities, and individuals worldwide to celebrate her and be inspired by her legacy. This recognition would not only honor Dolly but also shine a spotlight on the values she so strongly represents.

By signing this petition, you can help us bring this dream to reality, ensuring Dolly's unparalleled contributions receive the worldwide recognition they so richly deserve. Let's make August 25th a day to celebrate and promote the incredible impacts of Dolly Parton, a true global treasure. Sign to support the establishment of National Dolly Parton Day!
