\n\tDolly Parton<\/a>, who championed education throughout her life, had a message for teachers at the CMA Foundation Music Teachers of Excellence event on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusician Zac Brown<\/a> shared the video and said that the country music icon recorded the \u201cspecial message for the teachers in this room\u201d and \u201ctook the time to speak directly to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I think about legacy, I think about what we create, but even more than that, I think about what we give away,\u201d said Brown from the stage. \u201cThis is how our life continues to reach people long after a moment has passed. Few people understand that better than Dolly Parton.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside Parton\u2019s thousands of remarkable songs, the singer\u2019s extraordinary life and career reached beyond music. \u201cShe gave people hope,\u201d continued Brown. \u201cShe believed in children and she used everything she built to create opportunities for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing his speech, the video of Parton played and the beloved icon appeared on screen, as brilliant as ever. \u201cI\u2019ve always believed that music brings people together. But none of that happens without dedicated teachers who encourage, inspire and believe in the next generation and that\u2019s why we\u2019re celebrating tonight,\u201d Parton said with a wide smile. \u201cTo every music teacher of excellence, I want to thank you for your passion, patience, and care that you give your students each day. Congratulations on this incredible milestone and keep making beautiful music together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tParton died<\/a> on Aug. 25 following a brief battle with cancer. She launched her own charitable organization, the Dollywood Foundation, in 1988, and used her fame and fortune to support causes that included financial relief to forest fire victims in 2017, donating money for Covid-19 vaccine funding, and, most famously, founding the Imagination Library<\/a>, which distributes books to children in multiple countries. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
