Anderson Monarchs — A Force for Youth in South Philadelphia and Beyond

A Life is Not Important Except in the Impact it Has on Other Lives
— Jackie Robinson

Lower Main Line Rotary Supports the Goals and Aspirations of These High-Achieving Young People

Drawing on the life and music achievements of Philadelphia legend Marion Anderson, the Anderson Monarchs provide underserved youth in South Philadelphia with a family model organization that helps each young person develop athletically, academically and as leaders in their community.

Philadelphian Steve Bandura founded the organization in 1995, and has assembled a dedicated staff, enthusiastic parents and volunteers.

Since its origins, Anderson Monarchs has trained thousands of young team mates who learn to play smart and hard to achieve both life lessons and winning results. Lower Main Line Rotary joins many donors and cheering fans who see the benefits of a comprehensive program.
