Unity Day is a local and national event to raise awareness of bullying in schools, communities and on- line. By wearing ORANGE on Unity Day, the community can come together and send one large ORANGE message of support, hope and unity to show that it is united against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. The community can also “attend” and “share” the Unity Day Facebook event; post photos
