Time to break out the purple.

Tomorrow is Spirit Day, the annual GLAAD event that encourages people to wear lavender hues as a statement against bullying.

Celebs who have already pledged to take part include Macklemore, Betty White, Nick Cannon, Demi Lovato, Ke$ha, Melissa Etheridge, Kristen Bell, Snooki, JWoww, Kelly Osbourne, hosts of The Talk and The View and Honey Boo Boo's mom, Mama June.

Dot Marie Jones, Peter Facinelli, Nene Leakes, Holly Madison, Nate Berkus, Scandal's Jeff Perry and Zendaya are some more.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner will mark the day by tweeting messages of support.

The sports world will also have a big presence for the second year in a row. Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, the National Basketball Association, the Women's National Basketball Association, the National Football League, the National Hockey League, Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will be sharing Spirit Day information on their social media platforms.

Spirit Day was started in 2010 as a response to bullied young people who had taken their own lives. According to a 2011 survey by the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, 63.5 percent of LBGT students said they felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation. Close to 82 percent reported being verbally harassed.
