Power to the Purple

Help us paint the town purple every February

Power to the Purple is about coming together to support a cause that affects 20% of young people. With suicide being the second leading cause of death in youth, not acting is simply not an option.We can all make a difference and each small action has a ripple effect. Be a ripple in the sea of purple. There’s power in unity. There’s power in the purple.

At Your School

Talk to your teacher about having a Wear Purple Day in February to help raise awareness for youth mental health. Are you part of a student club? Organize a purple-themed bake sale in support of youth mental health.

At Your Workplace

Choose a day in February to organize a Wear Purple Day at your work to show support for youth mental health! If you'd like to add a fundraising component, anyone who makes a donation can also wear JEANS! Funds raised through DIFD support youth mental health education, suicide prevention research, and mental wellness apps.

In Your Community

Are you on a sports team? Organize a game in support of DIFD. Are you an artist? Host a purple-themed crafts night. Are you in a band? Play a show and ask everyone to wear purple in support of youth mental health.
