About Minnie Pearl

Minnie Pearl was the lovable comedienne who appeared on The Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw and greeted everyone with arms flung wide and a shrill “How-Deeeee!” Her broad embrace and unwavering sense of joy and hopefulness are timeless qualities that the MPCF adopted as its own when Sarah Cannon, the character’s creator and a cancer survivor herself who knew the priceless value of positive support.
