Acts of Compassion to Express Goodwill:
Flashy Finds for a Fantastic Cause
Mark your calendars, folks! It's time to get involved in Do It For Dolly Day, happening on the 9th of May. This nationwide movement aims to eradicate bullying and provide solace to those battling it, in memory of the late Dolly Everett.
Dolly's Dream, a foundation established by Dolly's parents Tick and Nate, sprang from the tragic loss of their 14-year-old daughter in 2018, following her long-standing battle with bullying and cyberbullying[1][3]. The purpose of Dolly's Dream is to enlighten the public about the destructive repercussions of bullying, to fortify those wounded, and to promote compassion and tenacity in our schools and communities[2][4].
On the 9th of May, Australians unite by wearing blue - a symbolic color representing anti-bullying and support, dear to Dolly's family[5]. Hope to spread Dolly's message of choosing kindness and sparking honest conversations? Here's a carefully curated list of some blue treasures to collect beforehand:
- A rugged blue hat to shield your buddy from the harsh sun rays.
- An endearing blue axolotl plushie for a comforting squeeze during tough times.
- A warm, enveloping blue hoodie to snuggle up in when the chill sets in.
- A resilient sky blue tumbler to guarantee that their favorite hot and cold beverages stay at the perfect temperature.
- A soothing rain cloud diffuser to brighten up the room and aid in relaxation during sleep.
- A wearable blanket for the friend who's always cold.
- A toe-tickling blue shark costume to bring laughter to everyone in sight.
- A lively blue Bluetooth speaker for blowing off steam through some dance tracks (even if just for a moment).
- A scented tea infused with soothing blue cornflower to bring peace of mind.
- An instant print thermal camera to capture the joy-filled moments that truly matter.
- Finally, a captivating Aquamarine crystal-adorned candle illuminating intentions for quieting the mind and bolstering self-assurance[6].
Lend your support to Dolly's legacy on Do It For Dolly Day, and wear blue on the 9th of May.
