FOUNDATION

One Love Foundation

Ed Block Courage
Award

One Love Foundation was
founded to honor the memory
of Yeardley Love, a college
senior who was beaten to
death by her ex-boyfriend
just weeks short of graduation. One Love’s mission
is to raise awareness about
the warning signs of abuse
and activate communities to
work to change the statistics
around relationship violence.
Through their Escalation
Workshops, they reach out
to students and faculty at
high schools and colleges
across the country, who all
come together to promote
this movement across their
community. The Jaguars
are taking a leading role on
behalf of the NFL to pilot a
program that ensures every
local college, university and
high school has access to the
workshops.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and
the Ed Block Courage Award
Foundation selected Neighbor
To Family as the Jaguars/Ed
Block Courage House Award
recipient. Neighbor to Family
had revolutionized foster
care and focuses on keeping
sibling groups together.
During the luncheon Jaguars
defensive tackle, Roy Miller
and former Jaguars player,
Richard Collier made a special
appearance to visit with
Neighbor To Family’s foster
children and their families.
