LOCATION: Nepean Sportsplex - 1701 Woodroffe Ave, Nepean, ON K2G 1W2

On Sunday, February 22nd, the Nepean Raiders are coming together for something bigger than hockey. 

Power to the Purple is a campaign dedicated to supporting DIFD and youth mental health. Do It For Daron (DIFD) supports education, awareness, and research initiatives at The Royal that encourage young people to talk openly about mental illness and to ask for help when needed. The hope in their research is to develop technology to prevent suicide risks and save lives. Our team is taking the ice not only to play hockey but to fight for change. The game is dedicated to spreading awareness and raising funds for youth mental health. 

Every donation counts- large or small, and will make a difference in the community. 

How can you support? Make a donation directly to DIFD through our event page: Nepean Raiders DIFD 2026 | The Royal Or better yet, come on out to the game, cheer us on, spread the word- let's Do It For Daron, and for everyone else who needs our support. the Royal and their mental health initiatives!
