During a recent press conference in Tennessee, Dolly Parton announced that she would be donating $1 million for relief efforts following Hurricane Helene.<\/p>\n
Parton is also working with The Dollywood Company to provide an additional $1 in emergency aid.<\/p>\n
The $2 million will be donated to the Mountain Ways Foundation, which is providing relief and recovery efforts in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and the greater Appalachian region.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom myself, personally, I\u2019m donating a million dollars today. But there\u2019s a lot to be done and we\u2019re trying to find other ways to even raise more funds. \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
