The MusiCares Person of the Year tribute is one of the most prestigious events held during Grammy Week, and Dolly is being recognized as the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year in recognition of her significant creative accomplishments and longtime support of many charitable causes.
Proceeds from the annual Person of the Year tribute — now in its 29th year — provide essential support for MusiCares, a charity founded by the Recording Academy that ensures music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
