Dolly Partonwas born in a one-room cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and grew up one of 12 kids in near-poverty conditions. Now, she's reportedly worth over $450 million and even has her own theme park. But for our beloved Dolly, it's not about the money she's made or the things she owns—it's about how she can use those things to make a difference.
And just last month, the East Tennessee Children's Hospital announced that it's being renamed the Dolly Parton Children's Hospital, following a donation from the beloved country music icon that was described as "a generational collaboration that will transform pediatric care" in the region. At 80 years old, the "9 to 5" singer continues to change the world with her music and her message—and that's why Dolly Parton is today's quote of the day.

Dolly discovered her passion and personality early—and she did it both on purpose and with purpose. She built Dollywood not to make millions, but because she wanted to bring jobs back to the people of East Tennessee. She started the Imagination Library because her own father never learned to read and she didn't want any other child to face that same barrier. She's donated millions to causes ranging from wildfire relief to pediatric care to COVID-19 vaccine research—not for the headlines, but because that's just who she is.
