Help us remember Daniel by wearing red

October 29, 2021

Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day. Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe.

The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in honour of Daniel Morcombe to make Australia a safer place for children. It was founded by parents Bruce and Denise after their son was abducted and murdered in December 2003 while waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. The aims of the Foundation are to educate children and young people about how to stay safe in physical and online environments and to support young victims of crime.

The theme is Wear Red, Educate and Donate. Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety. Schools and early learning centres conduct child safety education activities. Businesses and the community come together to raise awareness of child safety issues. Day for Daniel is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s biggest fundraiser each year.

Your support through fundraising helps us to continue developing free resources and programs for parents, carers, and educators to teach children how to stay safe.

Funds also contribute to supporting young victims of crime. Learn More: https://danielmorcombe.com.au/
