Derek Boogaard was heavily involved in a non-profit organization called Defending The Blue Line that helps "children of armed service members stick with hockey programs." In lieu of flowers, the family of Derek Boogaard requests that any donations from fans in Derek's memory be made to Defending The Blue Line. This is a terrific program and all donations go to support a worthy cause.
From the New York Rangers website:
