U.S. Open Raises $1,627.25 for Charity—Bay School for Autistic Children First of all, the promoters of the U.S. Open X Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament would like to thank all the competitors, coaches, media and fans who supported us and helped to make the event a huge success. The first ever in the United States Brown and Black Belt Challenge turned out to be a huge crowd pleaser. Participants and spectators alike thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and due to ticket sales and donations made at the U.S. Open History Museum we raised $1,627.25 for this year`s charity recipients, the Bay School. If you would like to make a donation or find out more about the Bay School`s work with autistic children go here: http://www.thebayschool.org/home.html .
