ANNA MARIA - A strongman contest on Anna Maria Island benefits victims of domestic violence.
On Sunday, the Beach House Restaurant hosted the contest called, "Brawn on the Beach."

First prize paid $500, but most of the proceeds went to a group called hope family services, which runs a shelter and provides support for victims of domestic violence. The event also raised awareness.
