This weekend promises to be busy for the One Love Foundation, a charitable organization created last May after the death of UVA lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
On Sunday, April 10, the UVA Women’s Lacrosse team and alumni will host the First Annual One Love Foundation Tennis Tournament at UVA’s Snyder Tennis Courts. Already booked to capacity, the tournament features 32 mixed doubles teams that paid $30 each to play in the memorial competition. The following day, Love’s ex-boyfriend George Huguely, who faces murder charges follwing her death, is due in Charlottesville General District Court, where a judge will weigh whether the case should proceed to a trial. Read next week’s C-VILLE for more information, and follow this blog for updates from the hearing.
In addition to the tennis tournament, One Love will send the team Every Yard for Yeardley to participate in the Charlottesville 8k, half-marathon and marathon on Saturday, April 9. One Love has raised over $17,000 through online donations, a plans to build a turf field at Love’s alma matter, Notre Dame Preparatory School. The organization also plans to create annual One Love scholarships, which will reward student leaders engaged in community service efforts.
