rumours 45,521 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 "Gabe Brown, a resident of Maryville, was presented the Chasing Rainbows Award at a private ceremony held at Dollywood, Parton’s theme park in Pigeon Forge. The award is given each year by the Dollywood Foundation to a current or former teacher who’s overcome adversity. He is the first teacher from East Tennessee to win the award...." "The ceremony was held earlier this month at a time when Dollywood was closed to the public. Brown found out he was the recipient as he volunteered in Pigeon Forge after the deadly wildfires last year. He served as a chaplain to the fire victims with the Dollywood Foundation. A donation of $1,000 was given to a charity of Brown’s choosing. In addition, he received a trophy."

Fun Fact: The Imagination Library will be delivering its 100 millionth book to children this year. A short informative video on the organization is provided below. Note: The video below is a couple years old, so the number of books quoted is less than the new number Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
