Frequently Asked Questions
Use of the Dolly’s Dream logo is reserved for Dolly’s Dream corporate partners, however community fundraisers have access to use our Proudly Supporting Do It For Dolly Day logo to promote their event or activity. Along with other helpful tools and resources, this is provided to you by email when you sign up. If you plan to use this logo on materials and campaign promotional items, please submit a brand approval request.
We love seeing a sea of blue as Do It For Dolly Day excitement sweeps across Australia in the lead up to May 9th, but we appreciate that some people might not be able to hold their fundraising activities at this time.
The Do It For Dolly Day campaign officially closes on June 30 with all funds banked by that date, so if your plans extend beyond this time we suggest you take the pressure off and sign up as a Dolly’s Dream community fundraiser.
Don’t worry, we will of course support your activity as we do with all our wonderful Dolly’s Dream community fundraisers throughout the year. You can register for a Dolly’s Dream community fundraising activity here.
We are so grateful and appreciative of the support from across Australia to date that has allowed us to make a positive change in a short time. But we aren’t done, and we need your support so that we can continue this vital work.
Sadly, 1-in-6 Australian students are being bullied every week*, and 1-in-7 young people aged 10-14 who've been bullied had thoughts of suicide*. Your support and donations mean that we can continue to develop and provide vital anti-bullying programs and initiatives for children, families, schools and communities across Australia.
Your support helps us continue Dolly’s legacy of kindness and hope, empowering young people, families, and communities to build a world free from bullying.
Every dollar raised on Do It For Dolly Day directly supports Dolly’s Dream’s essential programs, including:
- School Workshops: Interactive, judgment-free workshops that teach students about anti-bullying and staying safe online.
- Beacon Cyber Safety App: Practical tools and trusted resources to help families navigate technology and reduce online harms.
- Parent Hub: A one-stop resource for reliable advice on bullying and online safety, making family life a little easier.
- 24/7 Support Line: Free, confidential counselling for families and children, ensuring help is always within reach.
- Mental Health First Aid Training: Training community members to better respond to mental health challenges and build resilience.
