Love 2 Lax Tournament Recap!

What an INCREDIBLE weekend!!! Laxachusetts hosted our 2nd Annual Love 2 Lax Tournament!! Our teams battled hard and took home multiple championships!! A little about our Love 2 Lax Tournament and why we wanted to collaborate with the One Love Foundation:

Love 2 Lax is supporting the tremendous work of One Love Foundation with a portion of every registration. Love is the most important thing in our lives, yet we are taught very little about it. One Love is on a mission to change that. One Love was founded in 2010 after UVA Lacrosse player, Yeardley Love, was killed at the age of 22 by her ex-boyfriend. Since that time, One Love has worked to educate young people about the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, empowering them to identify and avoid abuse.
