ONE LOVE ANNOUNCES 2021 YEARDLEY REYNOLDS LOVE UNSUNG HERO AWARD FINALISTS

New York, NY (May 7, 2021) – The One Love Foundation, dedicated to improving the relationship health of future generations, is proud to announce finalists of the Yeardley Reynolds Love (YRL) Unsung Hero Award, celebrating the accomplishments of collegiate Divisions I, II and III lacrosse players who demonstrate dedication, integrity, humility, hard work, community service, leadership, kindness, and sportsmanship.

“We are privileged to honor these tremendous individuals, student athletes, teammates, and leaders who continued to positively impact others in a year marked by extraordinary challenges,” said Sharon Robinson, One Love Chair, Yeardley’s cousin and head of the YRL Unsung Hero Award committee. “Congratulations and thanks to all of the finalists for their contributions to communities across the country.”
