Music icon Dolly Parton, already famous for her generous spirit, has donated $1
million to support pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt
University Medical Center.

The country superstar's donation will support the fight against diseases such as
COVID-19 as well as help researchers prevent and understand antibiotic
resistance and diagnose and treat infections in children who are fighting
cancer.

"I love children," Dolly said in a statement. "No child should ever have to
suffer, and I'm willing to do my part to try and keep as many of them as I can
as healthy and safe as possible."

Mark Denison, M.D., professor of pediatrics and director of the division of
pediatric infectious diseases said the university was "deeply honored" by
Parton's donation and that the gift would "accelerate" the work the institution
has been doing for more than 40 years and "support new ideas."

DONATION



Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2020 to
help researchers develop the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. She has also made major
contributions to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt
Pediatric Cancer Program.

Jeff Balser, M.D, Ph.D., president and CEO of Vanderbilt University Medical
Center and dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, said Parton's
various donations over the years have "already saved countless lives" and
"[speak] volumes about her passion for people."

Parton's generosity toward children doesn't stop there. She established the
Imagination Library in 1995 as a way to promote literacy, gifting a free book
each month to children under 5 years old. Since its founding, the program has
donated more than 150 million books to kids around the world.
