Dolly Everett was a kind, caring and talented young girl who loved her friends, her animals and her family. In January 2018, Dolly took her own life at just 14 years of age, following an extended period of bullying and cyberbullying. Her passing shocked Australia and started a conversation about the devastating impact of bullying.
In her memory, Dolly’s parents, Tick and Kate, founded Dolly’s Dream to act as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Today, Dolly’s Dream is changing the culture of bullying by raising awareness, promoting kindness, and providing support for young people and their families.
Join them on May 8, 2026, for Do It For Dolly Day and Go Blue to End Bullying. Across schools, workplaces, sports clubs, and communities, Australians are coming together in blue to raise awareness, spark conversations, and support young people impacted by bullying.
Whether you fundraise, host a blue-themed event, or simply wear blue for the day, your actions help create a kinder, safer world for every young person.
By taking part, you’re standing with thousands of Australians to ensure no young person has to face bullying alone, while honouring Dolly Everett’s memory and her dream of a world free from bullying. www.dollysdream.org.au
