Good morning, Charlottesville.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville hosted its 12th annual Rake-A-Thon on November 15—over 500 volunteers raked about 100 lawns to raise funds for affordable housing in Charlottesville and Albemarle.

The event engaged students and local groups to build support for accessible homeownership.

Singers, students and community members gathered at Vinegar Hill Theatre on Wednesday evening for a 90-minute memorial concert to honor three student athletes fatally shot in 2022—Devin Chandler, D’Sean Perry and Lavel Davis Jr. Organized by the Public Engagement in Governance Looking, Listening, and Learning Lab, the event featured hip-hop, gospel and a cappella performances by local and university choirs.

Charles Zimmerman, the executive pastry chef at Farmington Country Club, is competing on the Food Network's Holiday Baking Championship with 11 other bakers after a six-month test bake process and secret contracts kept his participation under wraps.

Members at Farmington are enjoying his recreated plated desserts from the show, which premiered on Nov. 3.

Officials captured a black cat with rabies on Rivanna Trail and are urging anyone who came into contact with the aggressive animal to contact the local Health Department—this measure aims to prevent further exposure.

No. 1 seed Virginia dominated Friday night with a 5-0 win over High Point at Klöckner Stadium—showing strong control of the match and advancing to face No. 8 Penn State in the second round next week.

Virginia defensive end Fisher Camac recorded two sacks in the Cavaliers' win over Duke—he said his performance energized the team.

Accuweather forecaster Paul Pastelok said that nearby resorts will test new snowmaking equipment and host events like Massanutten’s Mass Awakening this weekend to prepare for a strong ski season with colder weather expected by December.

He warned that although several smaller weather systems will refresh the slopes during winter, skiing should be done before March — as warmer conditions may quickly limit the season.

Virginia men's basketball scored over 100 points as they defeated Marshall, 104—78.

The win extends their strong performance heading into upcoming games.
