Our regional firefighters and law enforcement officers are on a mission to help save lives by collecting blood for hospital patients in need during our 2023 Battle of the Badges campaign.
Battle of the Badges is a friendly competition to see who can recruit the most eligible blood donors to join them in this lifesaving effort. The community is encouraged to give blood at any of the participating blood drives listed below from June 28 through August 9.
The need for blood is constant. Joining first responders to donate during this campaign can help ensure blood is on the shelves before it is needed.
To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code listed below or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
