Here’s everything you need to know about Do It For Dolly Day 2026, how to take part, and why your support matters.

When is Do It For Dolly Day 2026?

Do It For Dolly Day 2026 will take place on Friday May 8.

It’s a day for communities, schools, sports clubs and workplaces across Australia to Go Blue to End Bullying, raise funds, spread kindness, and show every young person that they are not alone.

Why Go Blue to End Bullying

Every day across Australia, young people and families face the devastation that bullying can cause. Some feel isolated, some are in crisis, and some are desperately searching for someone who understands.

At Dolly’s Dream, we are working to make Dolly’s own dream of a kinder, safer world a reality. Our programs give young people the support they need, help parents know where to turn, and equip schools with the tools to prevent bullying before it starts.

Every dollar, every fundraiser, and every person who goes blue, standing up to end bullying and inspiring their community, helps ensure that Dolly’s Dream programs reach young people and families across Australia, even in the most remote communities, so that no one has to face bullying alone.

By going blue to end bullying, you are joining a movement that spreads kindness, sparks important conversations, and helps protect young lives.
