Country legend Dolly Parton is known for using her own personal money to fund her philanthropic work. Now she’s got 100 million more dollars to play with. On Friday, Parton received the Bezos Courage and Civility Award, created by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The money is to be used for whatever the recipient wants. Parton promised Bezos and his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, that she would do her best to “do good things with the money.”
I try to put my money where my heart is. I will do my best to do good things with this money ❤️ Thank you @JeffBezos #LaurenSanchez https://t.co/8RHh51z3jT
