"It's a very exciting day because this is the first day we're testing out our outside broadcasts, so we can do shows remotely now. And that is a very exciting chapter for us," he said.

"We are promoting this event as well because Katherine FM does believe in the cause."

Elders Office Manager Megan Wirth said they had their first Do It For Dolly Day fundraiser in 2021, and have decided to make it an annual event.

"We haven't been going for all that long but it was just so successful and a cause that everyone could relate to that we've kept going with it, the community really gets behind it," she said.

"It just became a really big issue in Katherine when the whole sad story evolved and everyone just really relates to it, if not knows the family, and to me it's a cause that affects so many people."

Do It For Dolly Day is held anually with the aim of raising funds and awareness for youth mental health support and online safety resources.

The day was started by Katherine parents Kate and Tick Everett, who also founded the charity Dolly's Dream, after their daughter Dolly took her own life after relentless bullying at age 14.
