The Patricia Manning Foundation was established in 2007 to celebrate the life of Patricia Manning who lost her battle with cancer in 2004. The Foundation bearing her name is intended to celebrate the life she lived, a life filled with love and compassion. Patricia Manning lived a life that was filled with giving, sharing, loving, and caring. She was not unique in this, in fact, these are the same qualities shared by millions of others around the world. She represents so many mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, sons, and daughters who live a life of giving to those around them. This Foundation bears the name of one person who dedicated her life to those around her, but it is here to provide an opportunity to celebrate the people in your life who have dedicated themselves to you. We created the Patricia Manning Foundation for the Patricia Manning we knew, we invite you to celebrate the Patricia Manning in your own life with us.
