In honor of our beloved Dolly, I will be hosting a flash event Friday Sept. 11th. The theme will be mostly western designs and the like. Previous flash designs will also be available. I will post some of the designs in the days to come!
Did you know?:
Dolly founded and funded the Imagination Library shipping over 325 million free books to children worldwide. She's donated millions of dollars to other education and pediatric programs such as tuition assistance, scholarships, and even employed many people.
She donated millions to medical research and children's hospitals, including funding to research the COVID19 vaccine, pediatric cancer research, and pediatric infectious disease research.
She offered disaster relief and community aid during different disasters such as the 2016 wildfires that devastated the Great Smokey Mountains, hurricane Helene relief and the Middle Tennessee Floods.
She advocated heavily for wildlife, establishing the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary for bald eagles which successfully rehabilitated non-releasable eagles and contributed to them being delisted from endangered. She also won the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.
She advocated and fought for gay rights during the AIDS epidemic, and has fought for other civil rights all throughout her life. She was truly an inspiration and continues to contribute to better the world even in death. Let's all be like Dolly .
