Pour yourself a cup of ambition. It’s Dolly Parton Day.

Across the world, communities are dedicating Friday to celebrating the country singer. The day is falling on Sept. 25, a wink at her hit song “9 to 5.”

Parton, who died of cancer last month at age 80, built a legacy over the decades as a singer-songwriter, actor, philanthropist and entrepreneur — leaving big and small ways to honor her today.

It was Parton’s wish that her songs would have a lasting impact, and that in turn, she would be remembered for trying to make the world a better place.

“I hope that a lot of my songs may last that long. And I hope I’ll be remembered as somebody that tried to do some good in the world and left, you know, a few good things,” she told The Associated Press in 2024.
