Dolly Parton’s Telethon Raised ‘Millions’ for Tennessee Wildfire Victims
Dolly Parton‘s three-hour telethon to raise money for the victims of the Tennessee wildfires on Tuesday evening raised “millions,” according to the country music star, who did not disclose the exact amount.
During a televised special aired live from Nashville on Tuesday, dozens of country music legends performed on stage and answered phones. The Academy of Country Music, Taylor Swift and Paul Simon each donated $100,000, and the Tennessee Titans gave $144,270, WDTN reports.
Parton’s telethon goal was to raise $13 million, and she said the final amount raised is in the “millions.” The exact amount will be revealed once the telethon re-airs on the West Coast. Officials estimate the fires have caused $500 million in damages.
