The End of Bullying Begins with Me: that’s the message during PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Month in October which CHEERMaD is supporting with a series of stories, outreach and call-to-action blogs.
PACER inititated National Bullying Prevention Month in 2006 with a one-week event which has now evolved into a month-long effort that encourages everyone to take an active role in the bullying prevention movement.
Remember, the End of Bullying Begins With You!

  • Hold a 975 Saves Lives Petition Signing Drive at your gym.
  • Conduct anti-bullying awareness theme day at practice.
  • Unity Day: Wednesday, Oct. 10 – Wear orange on Unity Day. That’s when scores of people around the country will join the movement to “Make it Orange and Make it End!” In 2011, Ellen DeGeneres promoted the cause on television by wearing orange and reminding millions of viewers about the importance of bullying prevention. Facebook supports the cause during October by providing users with information on PACER activities on its safety, educator, and privacy pages. Again in 2012, students will wear orange and use PACER resources to support the cause, hand out orange “UNITY” ribbons at school, and write “UNITY” on their hands or binders. Be sure to ‘Attend’ and ‘Share’ the Unity Day Facebook Event!
Show how much you care on Oct. 10 – Unity Day – and throughout National Bullying Prevention Month in October by wearing your own “Unite Against Bullying” T-shirt.
