YOUR GUIDE TO REGISTERING FOR PINK SHIRT DAY The guide will help you get the most out of your Pink Shirt Day online Everyday Hero page.
This year, we’ve partnered with Everyday Hero to make it easy for individuals, schools, workplaces and
community groups to register their involvement with Pink Shirt Day: by listing an event, fundraising, requesting
a toolkit and ordering campaign materials.
By registering, you’ll get a unique Pink Shirt Day page that you can use to share with your networks to spread
the Pink Shirt Day messages. If you’re fundraising, your page will be a vital tool to get your supporters excited
about the cause and donating.
1. REGISTER YOUR PINK SHIRT DAY INVOLVEMENT
On the Pink Shirt Day website click: Register here. You’ll be taken to the Everyday Hero site where you can
sign up for an Everyday Hero account. You can sign up using your email or existing personal accounts, like
Facebook. Choose how you want to sign up, tick the Terms and Conditions box, and you’re ready to go!
2. ENTER YOUR CONTACT DETAILS
You’ll need to enter in some of your personal details so that we can send you campaign resources. This
includes a toolkit with key facts about bullying and ideas for Pink Shirt Day activities and ongoing bullying
prevention strategies for schools and workplaces. We won’t share your information with anyone else.
3. TEAMS – TO JOIN OR NOT TO JOIN?
You should create a team page if you want other people to create their own pages that connect to your team
page. Team pages are great for building a sense of team spirit – and creating some friendly competition!
If you’re supporting Pink Shirt Day as an individual or you just want to have one page for your group, you don’t
need to worry about joining or creating a team.
Creating a team is a great idea if you have really engaged students, classrooms, work groups or individuals who
want to go the extra mile to support Pink Shirt Day in addition to
what your group is already doing.

If you want to join a team that’s already been set up, click ‘join
team’, and then search for the name of the group. Once you’ve
found it, click join, and you’re good to go.
4. TELL US WHAT YOU’RE DOING FOR PINK SHIRT DAY
We’d love to hear how you and your community will be celebrating Pink Shirt Day. Don’t worry if you haven’t
participated before or don’t quite know what you’ll be doing at this stage – we’ll be sending you through a
toolkit full of ideas for activities your school or workplace can use to have meaningful conversations about
what you can do to prevent bullying. Also, don’t sweat it if you can’t make 20 May work for your Pink Shirt
Day – just pick the date that best suits you and go with that.
5. ORDER PINK SHIRT DAY RESOURCES
Use the Everyday Hero registration form to order Pink Shirt Day wristbands
and posters. While we’ll do our best, we only have limited amounts of each, so
we may not be able to meet your order in some cases.
If you’re a corporate group, there may be a small charge for wristbands.
6. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR PIN K SHIRT DAY PAGE
Woohoo – you’ve made it! Now you just need to personalise your page and you’ll be ready to paint the town
pink! We highly recommend that you personalise your page by adding a profile photo and a short blurb about
what you and your
supporters are doing for
Pink Shirt Day. You can
use a photo of a group
together, or your school
or organisation’s logo.
You can use your page to
share updates about
your Pink Shirt Day
activities, interact with
people who are
supporting you and spark conversations about what we can all do to prevent bullying.

7. GET THE WORD OUT
You can share your page through social media to show your community how you’re getting involved.
Remember to use the hashtag #PinkShirtDayNZ. School or work newsletters are also great places to share
pages. Local media are always very keen to hear what their community are doing for Pink Shirt Day. If you have
agreed to speak to the media with your registration, we’ll be sending your contact details through to local
news outlets so that you can get your message out as wide as possible. There’s also a template media release
in the toolkit, to help you make contact with the media
directly.
8. POST UPDATES ON YOUR PINK SHIRT DAY PAGE
Show your supporters what you’re doing for Pink Shirt Day by posting updates, including pictures. You can also
share your updates straight to Twitter and Facebook – use the hashtag #PinkShirtDayNZ and help us get Pink
Shirt Day trending! Posting updates is a great tool to use if you’re fundraising, as it shows people how
passionate you are about making NZ a bully-free zone.
