Writer-director Tara Johns will present The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom in Whitehorse on September 29th as part of a fundraiser to support the non-profit organization the Yukon Imagination Library.

The Yukon Imagination Library is a branch of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, created by Dolly Parton herself. Her mission is to fight illiteracy by providing one free book per month to every child enrolled in this program from birth to 5 years of age.

The overwhelming popularity of the program will see The Yukon Imagination Library distribute a total of 15,000 books by 2013!

On behalf of Barbara, Tara and the Palomar team, we are proud to lend a hand to this humanitarian initiative. It is one small gesture we can make to thank Dolly Parton for her generosity and her determination to make a real difference.
