Tonight the Syracuse Crunch come to the Floyd L. Maines Memorial Arena. Wear purple to the game and support mental health. Stick around after the game and get a picture taken on the ice.

You may have heard the sad story about how Binghamton Senators Head Coach, Luke Richardson's daughter, Daron lost her life to suicide. Luke has formed a non-profit group called, 'Do It For Daron' or D.I.F.D.

Since then, Coach Richardson and his wife, Stephanie, have been on a mission to educate the community about mental health issues and that's why they've teamed up with the B-Sens and the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier to form 'Power to the Purple'.

Purple was Daron's favorite color.

You can buy $15 tickets with $2 being donated to the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier. This ticket special is available at the B-Sens Executive Office or online here.

D.I.F.D. is about inspiring parents to talk to their kids about mental health and promote mental health well-being. Stop by the D.I.F.D. raffle ticket table to enter into the FREE jersey raffle for the Special D.I.F.D.-themed jerseys that will be worn on Saturday, February 13th in Ottawa as well as the game tonight.

Once again, no purchase is necessary, just wear purple to show your support for youth mental health.

Everyone is encouraged to wear purple in support of youth mental health. Come early and visit local agency tables on the concourse where information is available for those in need.

Face-off is at 7:05.  Immediately following the game, everyone who wears purple will be asked to come to the ice to form the shape of a heart and have their photo taken.

LET'S GO SENS!
