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 Susquehanna County, more than 900 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 United Way of Susquehanna County and the community that supports us make it possible.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.
