美国音乐传奇人物、乡村音乐巨星多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）于周二去世，享年80岁12。她在接受短暂的癌症治疗后离世1。周二晚间，众多粉丝聚集在田纳西州纳什维尔的乡村音乐名人堂外，敬献鲜花表达悼念1。
帕顿的慈善事业基于她“相信人性本善”的理念2。在医疗与灾害救援方面，她曾向范德比尔特大学医学中心捐赠100万美元，以助力Moderna新冠疫苗的研发，并在2024年飓风“海伦”过后向阿巴拉契亚地区的救援非营利组织捐款100万美元2。此外，她发起的“想象力图书馆”项目自启动以来已向儿童寄出超过3.3亿本书籍，其中仅俄亥俄州就有逾100万名儿童收到了近2800万册图书2。2016年田纳西州塞维尔县发生火灾后，帕顿设立了1200万美元的专项基金，并通过“我的人民基金”（The My People Fund）向失去家园的家庭无条件发放每月1000美元、持续半年的援助金2。凭借这些善举，她于2022年荣获卡内基慈善奖章2。
