Manhasset Shop Helps Combat Relationship Violence

On Wednesday, Vinyard Vines, a clothing shop in Manhasset, is participating in the Shop and Be 1 for Change to Combat Relationship Violence program.  

From 4-7 p.m., shoppers will receive a 10 percent discount, while Vineyard Vines will donate 10 percent to the One Love Foundation, a Baltimore organization that seeks to end relationship violence through education and technology.  

The One Love Foundation was co-founded by Sharon and Lexie Love in May 2010 to honor their daughter and sister, Yeardley Reynolds Love, a University of Virginia student-athlete who was killed by her ex-boyfriend.  In September 2012, One Love launched its “Be 1 for Change” campaign aimed at 16-24 year-olds to heighten public awareness and perception of the Relationship Violence epidemic in the United States.  

According to the organization, statistics show one in three women will experience Relationship Violence in their lifetime.  

The organization supports its mission through core values Yeardley exemplified; Education, Service, Kindness, Dedication, Humility and Sportsmanship.  For more information, visit http://www.JoinOneLove.org or follow http://www.Twitter.com/JoinOneLove.
