There isn’t a cure for the coronavirus just yet, but country legend Dolly Parton is making sure that the researchers working towards it is funded properly.

The Guardian reports that the 74-year-old singer has made a donation of $1 million to the Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology and Inflammation, located in Nashville, Tennessee’s Vanderbilt University hospital.

In the Instagram post announcing the donation, Parton said that her “longtime friend” Dr. Naji Abumrad had notified her that he and the research team in Vanderbilt were working towards a cure for the coronavirus virus. Parton said that her donation was not only made to fund that research but to also encourage those who are able to do the same.

The donation is only one of the things that Parton is doing to help out as the world grapples with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. According to The Oprah Magazine, Parton will also be launching “Goodnight With Dolly,” a virtual read-along, on the night of Apr. 2. 

The 10-episode “Goodnight With Dolly” will have Parton reading popular children’s books like “There's a Hole in the Log on the Bottom of the Lake,” “Llama Llama Red Pajama,” “The Little Engine That Could,” and Parton’s own “Coat of Many Colors.”

Those who want to watch this series live can head to the website of the Imagination Library, a book gifting program that Parton established. The videos will also be available on al Dollywood, World Choice Investments, Dolly Parton, and Imagination Library channels, as well as the social media accounts associated with them, whether that is Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook.

Aside from Parton, a number of celebrities are also doing their part to lift spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reese Witherspoon and her clothing line, Draper James, recently announced it would give free dresses to teachers. All teachers had to do was sign up on a form until Apr. 5 and then hope that they would be one of the winners picked on Apr. 7.

The nonprofit organization No Kid Hungry also received a $1 million donation from Angelina Jolie, who is currently staying at home with her six kids. Jolie hopes to help out the almost 22 million kids that will be left hungry by the school closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The YouTube series “Some Good News” was also launched by former “The Office” star John Krasinski. Aside from collecting positive and feel-good stories, the first episode of the series also brought a smile to fans of “The Office” as it also served as a mini-reunion between Krasinski and his former castmate, Steve Carell.
