Dolly Parton and Opry to Auction Custom Guitar to Raise Funds for Opry Trust Fund

Dolly Parton has joined forces with the Grand Ole Opry to help raise money for the Opry Trust Fund by donating a custom autographed Dolly Parton/Opry 95th Anniversary guitar to be auctioned off.

Proceeds raised will go to the Opry Trust Fund to benefit music industry professionals most affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Parton has been a longtime supporter of The Opry Trust fund, which has distributed more than $2 million since its inception.

Established in 1965, The Opry Trust Fund provides financial assistance to music industry professionals during their time of extraordinary need to cover certain expenses, including medical bills, rent or mortgage bills and utility payments. The need is greater than ever as the music industry continues to be one of the most deeply impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
