The Pearls of Hope Foundation, Inc. invites you to join us for the fourth Pearls of Hope Memorial 5K Run/Walk. This year we are celebrating the life of Mrs. Regena J. Manley.  A native of Jonestown, Maryland, she lived most of her adult life in Wilmington, Delaware.  Regena was employed by the Family Court of Delaware for twenty-five years before retiring in 1991.  She held the positions of Supervisor of Social Workers, Program Development Administrator, and received a special appointment as Master/Commissioner.  Her organizational and creative skills are reflected in many ways throughout the community.  She died in 2009 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.  It is Pearls of Hope’s desire to keep her memory alive by providing scholarships in her name to deserving local high school seniors.
