(FOX NEWS) – Is Dolly Parton a secret philanthropist? The country superstar’s fans seem to think so after it was revealed she was involved in a number of charities without making it known to the public.
Some of her recent charitable actions include paying for the band uniforms of several Tennessee high schools over the years; purchasing a strip mall in Nashville using the royalties she earned from Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” to support the surrounding Black neighborhood in the late singer’s honor; and donating $1 million to research dedicated to creating the Moderna vaccine.
During an interview with The Associated Press, prior to receiving the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy on Thursday night, Parton said she doesn’t do any of it for recognition.
