Time has announced it’s first ever list of the Top 100 philanthropists, and two country music icons made the cut.
The publication announced that both Eric Church and Dolly Parton are being honored for both their commitment to philanthropy and their “respective visionary approaches”, despite the fact that they each represent different generations in the genre.
Dolly was named a “Titan” by the magazine, seeing as how she does so much for her home state of Tennessee and also internationally through her Dollywood Foundation. There have been donations of $1 million to both hurricane relief efforts and in the fight against COVID.
As for Church, he was honored as a “Trailblazer” after his “Concert for Carolina” raised more than $24 million for hurricane relief. That project is also seeing 100 new homes being built for families displaced by the storms.
Hats off to Dolly Parton and Eric Church…along with all who reach out to help those in need.
