Dolly Parton invites everyone to her benefit concert at Smokies Stadium on May 20th
The Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation and Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center announce that tickets are available for Dolly Parton's benefit concert at 7:30 p.m. May 20, at Smokies Stadium. Proceeds will support the construction of a new Fort Sanders Sevier campus. Advertisement Tickets are available through all Tickets Unlimited outlets. Prices range from $33 to $150 each. To purchase tickets, call (865) 656-4444. Tickets can be purchased online at www.knoxvilletickets.com or www.concertsinthesmokies.com.
Tickets will not be available for purchase through Dollywood, the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation or the hospital. Proceeds will benefit the campaign for a new Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center. Parton announced in December a $500,000 contribution to the campaign from her Dixie Stampede and Dollywood Foundation. The concert will add to that contribution. Ellen Wilhoit, president of Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center, expressed the hospital's gratitude to Parton. "Her support to the economic development of this area and to a healthier future for Sevier County families is a true blessing for us all," said Wilhoit. Fund-raising for the campaign is coordinated by the Thomas foundation, a private non-profit group charged with raising money for health care needs of Sevier County. It is named for a doctor who served in the dual role of minister and family physician in early Sevier County. Dolly Parton is one of the thousands of babies he delivered, and she memorialized his work in a song bearing his name. Parton also serves as honorary chairwoman of the foundation. Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center is a member of Covenant Health.
