NASHVILLE , Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Country music legend Dolly Parton is to headline a Dec. 13 telethon to help victims who lost their homes in the Great Smoky Mountains wildfires.
The 70-year-old singer's publicist told ABC News all of the proceeds from the musical event will go to the My People Fund, which was initiated by Parton's Dollywood companies and the Dollywood Foundation. The organization has already raised $1 million for the cause.
