It reflects her inner beauty and goodness. She promotes reading by sending--free to the recipient an age-appropriate book every month on her mailing list. She had Dollywood Park built near her hometown because the unemployment rate was so low. After Dollywood opened, the rate dropped significantly. She is a national treasure.

She’s also one of the biggest reasons why we have COVID vaccines. She donated unfathomable amounts for research & funding.
