The Lillian Broox Manis Foundation
We have also established the Lillian Broox Manis Foundation, a 501c(3) charity. The purpose of the Foundation is to honor Lilli's life and her interests by supporting those programs and causes that were close to her heart. The Foundation makes donations to approved charitable organizations only. The Foundation does not accept requests for donations to organizations or individuals. The Foundation also does not directly accept donations at this time.
The Foundation made donations to the following organizations:
The Lillian Broox Manis Foundation donated to the Carolina Sailing Foundation to help with the purchase of a new 420 sailboat for the RTP High School Sailing team. Lilli was an early and active member of the team throughout high school. The boat was christened "Resurrection" on September 9, 2011, at Lake Crabtree where the team practices. The following is part of the text trom our dedication: Lilli loved to sail, racing on 2-person dinghies such as 420's and Tanzer 16's with her family and other sailors. She loved sailing with the spray and wind in her face. I have a particular memory of her when she crewed for Chris Peterson at Lake Norman one time. The winds were up and they were screaming upwind after the start. Lilli was fully hiked out with her hair flying straight back and the water spray off the bow washing over her. She was smiling all the way! Eventually, Lilli and her brother Cameron sailed together at the SAISA Gold Regatta in March, 2008, for Chapel Hill High. Lilli also used her artistic talents to design the logo that appears on the RTP High School sailing shirts and website. The name is not meant to have a religious connotation, but instead has a specific connection to Lilli. Her website is called "HXResurrection", and it was a while before we found out what that meant. She had found an artist from China on-line who was drawing pictures for some manga, and who had written a story to go with it. She liked the story so much that she helped him to create a character, "Huan Xong", and he featured this character in his stories. But, one day, as she went to the web site, she found that it had completely disappeared. So she chose the name "HXResurrection" as a way of bringing Huan Xong back to the world. So this boat also brings her memory back, and we hope that you use it well for practice and for racing. We would like to thank Tom David for finding the boat and arranging its purchase, Tom Russell for taking the long trip to pick it up and bring it back, Dan Russell for his dedication and continued support of the team, and John Norton for his support and leadership of the Carolina Sailing Foundation.
