LONG BEACH � A group of local youth doled out more than $14,000 to peers as the Long Beach Youth Fund announced this year's award winners at a Wednesday ceremony.
The program, in its third year and overseen by the Long Beach Commission on Youth and Children, gives a board of 16 youngsters a chance to review and grant awards to projects proposed by local youth groups. This year, the board reviewed 15 proposals and granted awards to nine projects, with awards ranging from $545 to $1,986"
