ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell women's hockey is proud to announce that its games on Feb. 1-2 against Rensselaer and Union will be played as the Do It For Daron Series.

Do It For Daron was founded by friends and family of Daron Richardson to raise awareness and inspire conversations about youth mental health. The Big Red is excited to partner with Do It For Daron to help raise awareness about the challenges associated with mental health including the obstacles of fear and shame that prevent young people from reaching out for help. 

To show support for the Big Red and freshman Morgan Richardson -- the sister of Daron Richardson -- the team asks that fans wear purple to the Do It For Daron Series games.

Cornell Big Red Alum Colin Greening has also paricipated in Do It For Daron events and can be seen talking about youth mental health in this video.

The No. 4 Big Red women's hockey team returns to action after more than a monthlong layoff this weekend at No. 9 Northeastern and No. 3 Boston College. Cornell's first home game since before Thanksgiving will be next Tuesday against Syracuse.
