McQuaide Basko is honored to celebrate Dolly Parton today—a woman whose generosity, vision, and heart have touched millions of lives around the world. Dolly has changed the world in so many ways, but one of her most remarkable legacies is her commitment to children and literacy.
McQuaide Blasko is proud to be a strong supporter of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library through the Centre County United Way and its mission to inspire a lifelong love of reading in children. Today, the Imagination Library provides free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five through local community partnerships. By June 2026, the program had gifted more than 325 million books and was sending more than 3.5 million books to children every month across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.
