When first responders compete to recruit blood donors, everyone wins! The American Red Cross Massachusetts Region is partnering with police and fire departments and other agencies to hold a series of Battle of the Badges blood drives this spring and summer.
Battle of the Badges is a friendly competition that helps the Red Cross meet patient and hospital demand for blood. When donors arrive at the blood drives, they will have the opportunity to cast a vote for their department or agency of choice. The winner gets bragging rights and sincere thanks from Red Crossers across Massachusetts.
