MANCHESTER, NH - The Manchester Monarchs, the primary affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, have donated $1,000 scholarships to Keene Middle School for an LCD projector for their Social Studies Department and to St. Anthony School for a new volleyball team as part of their Investing In Our Youth grant program, the team announced on Wednesday.

Through the program, the Monarchs Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the Monarchs, is able to award two different $1,000 scholarships each month. One of the scholarships goes to a deserving youth sports team. The other scholarship goes to a deserving school organization.

The Monarchs are currently taking applications for the program. Athletic and educational organizations are encouraged to apply.

Keene Middle School will use the grant money to purchase an LCD projector and its related equipment for their Social Studies Department. This purchase will engage and positively impact the 776 students ranging in age from 11-14 by allowing them to view world-wide historical photos and locations, works of art, maps, graphs, charts and much more with the large screen.
