About Do It For Dolly Day
Do It For Dolly Day, held on May 8, 2026, is a national day of action calling on Australians to fundraise and Go Blue to End Bullying.
Now in its eighth year, the day was founded by Northern Territory parents Kate and Tick Everett, in memory of their 14-year-old daughter Dolly Everett, who took her own life after experiencing relentless bullying.
Every dollar raised helps fund Dolly’s Dream bullying prevention and support services across Australia, including:
- 13 DOLLY, our Bullying Support Line
- Anti-bullying workshops in schools and communities
- Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
- The Bullying Support Hub
- The Beacon Cyber Safety App
