On December 13th, 2015, we lost a son, brother, friend and UW soccer teammate to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Daniel Phelps always spread laughter and joy, and truly made the world a better place. He passed away at just 27 years old.

Daniel loved the game. He played striker, wore #19 and always loved staying after practice to knock the ball around with his teammates. He graduated from the University of Washington in 2010 with a business degree in finance from the Foster School of Business.

In 2017, we launched an annual charity golf tournament called the DP Open and in 2021 we introduced DP Night – a University of Washington Men’s soccer game dedicated to Daniel and building awareness for SCA. The game is always played at Husky Soccer Stadium in the month of October (SCA awareness month).

At the game, fans, players, volunteers and coaches have the opportunity to learn CPR and how to use an AED. 

And on May 19th, 2022 we officially launched DP Foundation, a registered nonprofit corporation in the state of Washington.To date, we have raised over $130,000 to save and support young lives, with the money being donated to the Nick of Time Foundation and to our Soccership program.
