It's time to dig out your best purple outfit to show support for our rainbow friends!
Friday 30 August is WEAR IT PURPLE DAY. Our LLV community are invited to wear purple and donate any amount - large or small - to WEAR IT PURPLE as a way to demonstrate to rainbow young people that they are celebrated and respected.
Choose an amount to donate from the drop-down menu and get creative with your purple items - clothes, nail polish, hair accessories! Of course, wearing purple is not required to donate… just a bit of fun for those who love a colourful flair!
Wear it Purple was founded in 2010 in response to young people taking their own lives as a result of bullying and harassment from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity. They are a not-for-profit that strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.
Wear It Purple Day is a chance for all Australians to wear purple to show young LGBTQIA+ people they are loved, supported and empowered to bring their whole self to life.
