Danville’s Dolly Walk: A 9/25 Celebration of Literacy!
Date/Time: Friday, September 25, 2026 @ 12:30 PM
Location: The Dogeared Page, located at 525 Main Street, Danville, VA 24541
Tumble outta bed and put on your biggest hair, your sparkliest outfit, and your best Dolly attitude, because Danville’s first-ever Dolly Walk is happening THIS MONTH!
In honor of the one and only Dolly Parton, we’re hosting a 1-mile charity walk celebrating her incredible life, legacy, and lifelong commitment to literacy. All proceeds from the walk will be donated to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, an organization Dolly founded in 1995 to put books into the hands of children everywhere, in the hopes of inspiring a lifelong love of reading.
Why 12:30 PM? Because, as Dolly would say, we’re workin’ 9 to 5! ;)
Grab your coworkers, make it a corporate affair, and spend your lunch break walking for a wonderful cause. Bring the whole office, rally your team, and show Danville what happens when we put our community behind a good cause!
Event Details:
- This is an easy, 1 mile, fun walk beginning and ending at The Dogeared Page, located at 525 Main Street.
- Costumes are encouraged (and will be celebrated!), but are not required! We’d love it if you’d come dressed in your very best Dolly-inspired attire, the bigger the hair and the more rhinestone sparkle, the better!
- Free bottled water and refreshments will be served at the shop after the walk for all participants.
- The first 100 registrants will receive a custom-designed “Danville’s Dolly Walk” enamel pin to commemorate their participation.
- Stick around after the walk to browse, chat, and shop with us, because we’re keeping the giving going! In addition to the walk proceeds, The Dogeared Page will be donating 10% of our shop proceeds from Friday, 9/25, to the Imagination Library.
Registration
- Registration is $20 per person and can be completed online through RunSignUp.
- Your registration helps support the Imagination Library and includes participation in the walk, post-walk refreshments, and a custom-designed “Danville’s Dolly Walk” enamel pin to commemorate your participation (for the first 100 registrants).
So grab your friends, your coworkers, your best Dolly getup, and your cowgirl boots (or maybe sneakers instead for this one, diva). Let’s make a little noise, spread a little love, celebrate a legendary woman, and help get more books into the hands of children everywhere.
We’ll see you there!
