“Of course, I know how spectacular Dolly’s Suite Dreams is going to be because I’m helping with the design, selecting this and that to help decorate and make it special and feel like home,” Parton said. “So I’m actually going to be the very first person to spend the night there then I’ll welcome this lucky winner and his or her friends as my first official guests. I guarantee it will be the experience of the lifetime at my new Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort. And knowing that this helps the Dr. Robert F.

“We’re excited about Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and couldn’t be happier that Dolly has so generously given the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation the chance to auction the first stay in Dolly’s Suite Dreams celebrity suite,” said Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation Executive Director Deborah Dowling. “Dolly is going to help us make someone very, very happy, and we’re thrilled to be a part of this.”
Parton, the honorary chairperson of the foundation established in 1983, is one of the many babies delivered by Dr. Thomas, who came to Sevier County in 1926 to serve in the dual role of minister and family physician.
The foundation’s mission is to help expand the range and quality of health care services available in Sevier County, including a $10 million capital campaign to fund the construction of LeConte Medical Center which opened in February 2010.
