💗 Today, we say goodbye to a singer, a songwriter, an icon—and a woman who used her voice to make a difference.
Dolly Parton was so much more than the music she gave us. She was a philanthropist, an advocate, and a champion for those facing breast cancer.
Dolly’s commitment to the fight against breast cancer earned her the 2023 Susan G. Komen Promise Award, honoring her dedication to raising awareness, inspiring others, and helping fund research. She lent her voice to the powerful song “Pink,” which became an anthem for those affected by breast cancer, and headlined the Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye concert, which has raised more than $235,000 for breast cancer research. 💗🎀
Even when the spotlight was on her, Dolly continually turned that light toward causes bigger than herself.
Her life is a beautiful reminder that our voices matter, our actions matter, and the legacy we leave is measured not only by what we accomplish, but by the lives we touch along the way.
As Zeta Tau Alpha women, we believe deeply in the power of service, philanthropy, and using our influence for good. Dolly Parton embodied that spirit in a way that will continue to inspire generations.
Today, we celebrate her life, her music, her generosity, and the countless people she encouraged to hope, dream, give, and keep going.
🎀 Rest peacefully, Dolly. Thank you for using your voice to make the world a little brighter.
Zeta Love, 💗
