Once Again, Dolly Parton Gives $1M To Infectious Disease Research​


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dolly Parton is donating $1 million to pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The new gift is one of several Parton has made to the center over the years, including a $1 million gift in April 2020 for COVID vaccine research. That gift helped Vanderbilt researchers test an array of drugs aimed at reducing the life-threatening symptoms associated with COVID-19, the center said in a news release. Researchers are also looking at entirely new therapies to both treat COVID-19 and prevent infection.


 
Having no kids leaves you with a lot of money to give away when you are old famous and rich.
 
^^^ She did have a lot of family members already that could've been given some of the fortune instead. Has she ever said why she never had any kids of her own?

God bless you and the legend and her remaining family members always!!!

I wonder if the 76 year old entertainer understands where her money is going? Maybe to the same Chinese labs that released the virus? It seems like a strange endowment.
