On September 25, The Dollywood Foundation is introducing Give Like Dolly Day — a new annual tradition created to honor Dolly’s generous heart and her lifelong commitment to children.For more than 30 years, Dolly’s dream has helped put books into the hands and hearts of children around the world. And because of the dedication of Local Imagination Library Partners and the communities they serve, that dream continues to grow.In the weeks since Dolly’s passing, we’ve witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of love, gratitude and support from people around the world.Give Like Dolly Day is an opportunity to turn that love into action by giving back to children and communities, just as Dolly did throughout her life. We’re inviting people everywhere to support organizations doing meaningful work for children where they live — beginning with their local Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program.

About our program
Total enrollment continues to grow even with hundreds of children moving away or graduating (turning five). Preschools, child care centers, WIC, and the Fairbanks Children’s Museum are just some of the places enrolling children around town. According to the 2020 census, almost 7,000 children under five live in the North Star Borough. Our goal is to enroll them all!
