Many young martial arts students from Huard's Ju-Jitsu Karate Inc in Winslow, Maine worked really hard this spring earning pledges in the community to compete in the 2005 Battle of Maine Martial Arts Championships to help save Children's Lives. In addition to the pledges and donations received by community members, $1.00 of every spectator ticket from the Battle of Maine was donated to CMN.
