DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE?
YARDS FOR YEARDLEY REGISTRATION OPEN THROUGH SEPT. 5
FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF

Yards for Yeardley is a community awareness event being put on by IC One Love, our chapter of the national One Love Foundation, which helps to educate people on the warning signs of intimate partner/dating violence (IPV). IC One Love is encouraging the IC campus to rally together to honor Yeardley Reynolds Love, a University of Virginia lacrosse player who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 2010, as well as other individuals whose lives were lost due to IPV. We want to celebrate their lives by motivating the whole campus to compete in a challenge to track the most yardage.The challenge lasts for 22 days to represent the short 22 years Yeardley was alive.
