Today, we are grappling with the heartbreaking loss of one of the most cherished icons in music and culture, Dolly Parton. For decades, Dolly has gifted us her immense talent, her charitable heart, and her unyielding zest for life, leaving a mark on countless lives around the world. In honor of her profound influence and legacy, we propose to officially designate September 25th as Dolly Parton Day.

Dolly Parton not only dazzled audiences with her unmistakable voice and remarkable songwriting but also touched lives through her philanthropy and advocacy. From her work to improve literacy with the Imagination Library to her generous donations for disaster relief efforts, Dolly personified compassion and kindness, deserving of our utmost recognition.

Her music has been the soundtrack of numerous lives, resonating with people from all walks of life. Songs like 'Jolene', '9 to 5', and 'I Will Always Love You' have not only been cultural milestones but have also paved the way for female empowerment and self-expression. Celebrating her life annually would provide us with an opportunity to reflect on her contributions to music, charity, and society as a whole.

To commemorate her life’s work and continue her legacy of making the world a better place, we call on local and national leaders to recognize September 25th as Dolly Parton Day as an homage to her original song “9 to 5”. This occasion will not only honor her contributions but also inspire future generations to follow in her footsteps of kindness and creativity.

Join us in this endeavor to ensure Dolly Parton's legacy lives on. It’s time to make September 25th a day where we celebrate the joy and positive change she has spread throughout her life. Let’s unite in this heartfelt tribute to ensure her spirit continues to shine brightly.

Please sign this petition to honor Dolly Parton’s unparalleled impact and advocate for a day that reflects the love and gratitude we have for everything she has given us.
