What Would Dolly Do?

For Women’s History Month, Ed proposed to his client do a Dolly Parton Mural. Ed started by creating a Dolly stencil art image

And scaled it up for the large chalkboard wall. 

Dolly Parton, the legendary country singer and songwriter, is known not only for her incredible musical talent but also for her philanthropic work. In 1995, she founded the Dollywood Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to improve literacy rates among children in the United States. The foundation’s flagship program is the Imagination Library, which provides free books to children from birth to age five. Since its inception, the Imagination Library has distributed over 150 million books to children in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The program has had a significant impact on childhood literacy rates, with participating children showing improved reading skills and a love for learning.

In addition to her work with the Dollywood Foundation, Dolly Parton has also contributed to disaster relief efforts and other charitable causes. Following the devastating wildfires that swept through her home state of Tennessee in 2016, she established the My People Fund, which provided financial assistance to families who had lost their homes. She has also donated millions of dollars to support research into COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. In November of 2022, Jeff Besos gifted Dolly with $100 Million dollars to  support any charitable cause she chooses. Dolly Parton’s philanthropic work is a testament to her generosity and commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
