For 2021, the focus of Do It For Dolly Day was the seven signs of bullying:
- Upset or anxiety when using devices
- Sudden loss of interest in things they used to enjoy
- Unexpected changes in friendship groups
- A decline in school work
- Avoidance of school or clubs
- Avoiding other teens or seeming lonely, depressed, sad or anxious
In an earlier interview with the Katherine Times, Dolly's mum Kate Everett said the support of Katherine businesses in the past three years has been tremendous, and something she will never forget.
"The support has been completely overwhelming, to have whole towns turn blue and social media networks flooded with kind messages and the colour blue...I just get so overwhelmed," Kate said.
"There are so many Katherine businesses who support Dolly's Dream. We have so many schools, so many little businesses behind the scenes too."
