California: Governor Newsom proclaims Dolly Parton Day

~ Sacramento, CA - Governor Gavin Newsom has declared September 25, 2026 as "Dolly Parton Day" in California. The proclamation was issued today, recognizing the iconic singer and philanthropist for her contributions to music and her charitable efforts.

Parton, known for hits such as "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," has not only achieved success as a singer and songwriter but has also used her platform to give back to communities in need. Governor Newsom praised her for empowering people through both her music and philanthropy, stating that she "connected with people from every community and background."

Born into a poor family in Appalachia, Parton has always had a heart for giving back. She once prayed for success so she could have "enough to share and enough to spare." Her philanthropic efforts have been diverse, thoughtful, and generous. She has established college scholarship programs, funded band uniforms and instruments at underserved schools, and provided long-term support to families impacted by disasters.
