PUEBLO WEST — People are in Pueblo West grappling for a good cause. Grindhouse Grappling Nogi Jiu Jitsu hosted its annual benefit tournament.
Close to 100 people from all over Colorado came to Pueblo West for the event. Money from the benefit will go to helping Brad's House, which is a non-profit that helps at-risk youth in Pueblo.
"It's helping kids learn that they can support (themselves) and (do) things that are good for their community by doing things they love," said Denise Henry with Grindhouse Grappling Nogi Jiu Jitsu.
The benefit had a donation based entry fee, raising more than $1,500. That money will be going back to Brad's House.

Powerful spring storm will rock Southern Colorado today and Tuesday
After a gorgeous weekend, we're looking at a very busy start to the week for Southern Colorado. A powerful spring storm will produce widespread 30-50 mph gusts on Monday. These dry, downslope winds will increase fire danger on Monday along and east of the I-25 corridor. Red Flag Warnings will be in effect from 11 am until 7 pm.
