Mark Your Calendars: May 9 is fast approaching, and it's all about Go Blue for Dolly - a brilliant initiative to combat bullying, in memory of a dear teenage soul.
The idea originated from the tragic demise of Dolly Everett, a 14-year-old girl, who in 2018, lost her battle against prolonged bullying and cyberbullying[1][2]. Her inconceivable loss left an indelible mark on Australia, serving as a stark reminder of the devastating impacts of bullying.
To honor Dolly's memory, her loving parents, Tick and Nate, started the nationwide movement known as Do it For Dolly Day[3]. This powerful movement aims to stamp out bullying and prevent any more Australian families from enduring the same heartbreak.
On May 9, people all over Australia will Go Blue to End Bullying, keeping Dolly's spirit alive. If you'd like to lend your support and help spread Dolly's message of kindness and friendly conversations, here's a selection of blue items to help you prepare for the big day:
- A trendy, blue-hued hat to keep your mate sun-safe with style.
- An adorable, blue axolotl plushie to comfort your friend during tough times.
- A cozy, deep-toned blue hoodie to warm up your friend on chilly days.
- A soothing sky-blue drinkware to keep fave beverages ice-cold while hydrating.
