the story behind the exhibit

A Dolly Parton Tribute Concert, Breast Cast Auction, and Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers Look-alike Contest

COMMUNITY Breast cancer survivor and musician, Nena Anderson created Dolly Parton Valentine as a fun way to deliver breast cancer awareness in an unlikely space...through a concert. The community, friends, and fans showed up in force, selling out the show in 2023 and 2024, while raising funds for Keep A Breast Foundation. Featuring local artists from multiple genres into one big show with the addition of a Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers look-alike contest encourages a festive, community atmosphere. And wigs. And sequins.

BOOBIES Dolly Parton, as well known for her figure as her music, inspires with her decades of longevity as a performer, songwriter, entrepreneur, fashion icon and philanthropist. Great songs, style, and boobies make for a great show!

LOVE It’s Valentine's Day, so let’s celebrate love with giving, rhinestones, and dancing!

FRIENDSHIP “Keep A Breast (KAB) was founded by two of my dearest friends, Shaney jo Darden and Mona Mukherjea-Gehrig in 2000. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, supporting their non-profit became much more personal. Since then, I have become an advocate for prevention and education, as well as the Creative Director at KAB! It’s a special opportunity to combine my advocacy with music, in my favorite venue, and to be able to showcase so many talented artists in one joyous night. This event is close to my heart on so many levels.” — Nena Anderson
