Today, 9/25, is Officially Dolly Parton Day. 🦋

We asked ourselves, “what would Dolly do?”

In honor of Dolly Parton’s remarkable legacy of caring for communities and children’s education, we will be donating a portion of our proceeds today to The Children's Council Watauga

We sure can’t fill the shoes that Dolly Parton left behind, but we can all choose to be the light for each other in the small acts of kindness we do. Love each other and Stay With It!

We love you, Dolly. 🦋❤️🌈
