Robert Kraft Matches $30K Grant Given To Dorchester School
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft helped the Russell School celebrate Monday with a special announcement of his own.
Kraft told students he would be doubling the $30,000 grant.
"We like to try to compete for championships every year and win a Super Bowl," Kraft said. "You won an award that everyone competed for around the country and you're number one, that's what the Patriots are going to try to do this year."
Students were awarded the grant after they created a community garden.
