Dolly Parton holds a children's book in the foreground against a light blue background featuring "Give Like Dolly Day" text and event details.

The Dollywood Foundation has announced September 25&nbsp;as the first annual Give Like Dolly Day, a day dedicated to honoring Dolly&rsquo;s generous heart by supporting the local organizations carrying her mission forward. Here in the Berwick area, more than 200 children receive a FREE, age-appropriate book in their mailbox every month through Dolly Parton&rsquo;s Imagination Library. While Dolly dreamed it, local partners like the Berwick Area United Way, and the community that supports us, make it possible.&nbsp;So, on September 25 (9/25), we&rsquo;re inviting local businesses, banks, schools, organizations, offices, and workplaces to join us and Give Like Dolly!Participation can be as simple or creative as you&rsquo;d like. Here are a few ideas:<ul fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Give $9, $2, or $5 in honor of 9/25</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Host a Dress Down for Dolly Day and ask employees to donate to participate</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Encourage staff to wear pink, rhinestones, or a little Dolly-inspired sparkle</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Set out a Dolly Day donation jar</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Host a bake sale or small office fundraiser</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Challenge another department, business, or organization to participate</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Or come up with your own fun way to Give Like Dolly!</li></ul>&nbsp;Every dollar raised locally will support our Imagination Library program and help us continue putting books directly into the hands and homes of Berwick area children.Those dollars add up quickly: $30 provides books for one child for an entire year, while $150 supports one child for the life of the program.&nbsp;
