Dear Movie ?TV Star, Star, Martial Arts Star, Master, Grand Master and Celebrity and Vendors:
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the ?The Midwest Martial Arts and Stars Charity Event? and the ?Battle of Detroit 2005? Championships in its 35th year. Location will be University of Michigan Dearborn field House Dearborn, Michigan. Feb 19 will be a Juniors championship followed by a big Masters and Black Belt show. Feb 20 will be an adult championship leading to Adult Black Belt Grand Champions and conclusion.
The event last year brought in 1,000?s of competitors and spectators to see their favorite Stars, Masters, and Grand Masters and get autographs and pictures with the stars. Michael Jai White ?featured in Spawn and Kill Bill Vol 2? as were many other stars such as Paul Ganus in ?Monolith? and Vera Van Guard ?Martial Arts Action Figure and Warrior Mistress? were there as was junior actor Benjamin Kil.
Sponsored by the MGM Grand Casino Detroit, WRIF Radio, The Metro Times, Sport Karate Radio and World Martial Arts College the event raised money for Z.I.A.D. Healthcare for the Underserved a non profit providing primary care to the poor and working poor uninsured.
Last year 44,000,000 Americans had no health insurance and Z.I.A.D. helps those in need.
Year 2005 event will be held at the University of Michigan Dearborn on February 19 Saturday and February 20 Sunday. It will include on Feb 19, 2005 from 10-5 a Stars mingle where Stars may meet their fans, sign autographs, take pictures for charity. The profit from the admission fee will go to the charity and stars may charge for pictures, autographs and items they bring for sale and keep those proceeds.
In the afternoon February 19th from 6-7pm will be a Masters and Stars demo and appearance.
The next day February 20th will be a major World sanctioned Open Martial Arts championships with three sets of rules. Something for everyone.
Please join us and make this charity event possible-the cause is very right and a Hugh task of helping the 44,000,000 uninsured in America. 8 out of 10 of them work and struggle for a living. Z.I.A.D. Healthcare for the Underserved?s goal is to spread nationally the work it started in Michigan, serving the uninsured. It has provided thousands of persons with needed primary healthcare to prevent catastrophic illnesses by detection early up.
Ideally you will donate your time, and expenses to the charity for a tax write off. There will also be some possibility of the us providing all or part of your air, and accommodations, or receive a tax exempt letter for your in kind services and expense so please respond back with an affirmative and I will contact you. You may e-mail me at ibrahamahmed@aol.com. Please let me know if you can attend both days or only one and what your needs may be.

About Metro Detroit
In less than 100 years metro Detroit gained fame for putting the world on wheels and changing the face of popular music. But as we enter a new millennium, Detroit is much more than cars and Motown.
Today, metro Detroit boasts world-class shopping, first-rate cultural attractions (including one of the nation's largest theater districts) and Las Vegas-style casino gaming.
Detroit's cultural and ethnic diversity is celebrated in the form of weekend festivals held at Hart Plaza on the riverfront every summer. Across the river lies Windsor, Ontario, making Detroit one of the busiest international borders in the U.S.
And, of course, you have to come here if you want to get the authentic Motown experience or see the world's best collection of automotive attractions.
Visit and find out why we say,
"It's a great time in Detroit."
