MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Women United, an affinity group of the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties, is bringing a unique opportunity to support the current fund raising campaign.
The You’ve Been Parton’ed campaign works much like the congratulatory pop-up cards you see in yards or flocks of flamingos that have made their way around town. Individuals can purchase a party of Dolly Partons to be delivered to a specified location where the party will last for 24 hours. The signs then move on to the next lucky home. Participants also can pay to have the party picked up, “Parton” someone else, buy insurance to avoid being Parton’ed, find out who Parton’ed them, or purchase a Dolly keepsake.
“Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is such an amazing resource to encourage reading and enhance literacy for children throughout the world,” Sabrina Cave, co-chair of Women United, said. “We wanted to raise awareness in our local community so that we can expand this important program and be able to provide even more free books to area children. This campaign is a unique and fun way to do that, while also showcasing the women behind this incredible program.”
The local Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) provides free books to more than 2,230 area children.
The campaign will run from October 25 through November 19. To “Parton” someone or to learn more about how you can support DPIL click here.
