“My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards research of the coronavirus for a cure,” wrote Parton. “I am making a donation of $1 million to Vanderbilt towards that research.”
She’s encouraging other who “can afford it” to make contributions, too.
Earlier this week, the 74-year-old entertainer shared a message for first responders and medical personnel fighting the coronavirus, likening the pandemic to “a war.”
