HARDWICK – The Second Annual Holly Jolly Brawly Invitational kids martial arts benefit tournament is set to be held this coming Saturday at Hazen High School.

The tournament is open to all styles with all proceeds going to the Hardwick Holiday Project (HHP) and the Hardwick Area Food Pantry (HAFP). The HHP is a local toy drive serving the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union and helped over 200 children attain three gifts apiece in 2024. The HAFP has locations in Hardwick, Craftsbury and Albany, serving over 800 households and 2400 individuals last year with the help of volunteers, donations and grants.

The Holly Jolly Brawley expanded from an in house tournament to an invitational in 2024, raising over $700 (not including donated toys and food) for people in need during the holiday season.
