LOS ANGELES, January 22, 2023 — The family of Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer in partnership with the American Red Cross presents the Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer Memorial Blood Drive on January 29. Ryan Clinkunbroomer was a fourth-generation lawman who joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2015. Dedicated to giving back to his community, Deputy Clinkunbroomer, nicknamed Clink by his fellow officers, was unwaveringly committed to his family and work.
Honoring a legacy of service, his family urges community members to participate in the Battle of the Badges blood drive to bolster the community’s blood supply and help save lives. “Our son loved to help others and give back to his community as a Deputy Sheriff,” said Kim Clinkunbroomer, Deputy Clinkunbroomer’s mother. “I can’t get Ryan back, but I can give back and honor his legacy of helping his community.”
Join the Clinkunbroomer family and the Red Cross to honor this hometown hero and donate blood at the upcoming blood drive.

How to donate blood
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
