The One Love Foundation was established in 2010 by Sharon and Lexie Love, as well as additional family and friends to honor the memory of Yeardley Reynolds Love. The “One” represents the number Yeardley wore on her jersey during her high school and college lacrosse career. The number has since been retired by the University of Virginia in her memory.
Mission: End Relationship Violence through education and technology.
To support the One Love Foundation, SDSU Lacrosse Teams will be holding a Goal-A-Thon for the following games:
SDSU Women vs. USD- March 20, 2013
SDSU Men vs. Cal Poly- March 23, 2013
PLEASE HELP THE LACROSSE TEAMS OF SDSU, USD, AND CAL POLY IN RAISING MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE.

SDSU Lacrosse Charity Goal-A-Thon
How it works:
It is similar to a walk-a-thon at a school. The idea is you sponsor one or multiple teams for every goal scored. For example, if 100 goals are scored and you are sponsoring a $1/goal, then donate $100. You can also sponsor other stats, such as assists, goalie saves, face offs/draws won, ground balls, or penalty minutes.
*For our records please email Charlie Jackson (ctj24@sbcglobal.net) for your Goal-A-Thon pledge.
