Battle of the Badges Blood Drive 2023
During February and March, the LAFD, LAPD, and LA County Sheriff’s Department are conducting the annual Battle of the Badges blood donation contest between Southern California first responders - and you are asked to join Team LAFD in helping save lives.
This blood drive is the largest among public safety agencies in the country, and since the competition began in 2007, first responders have donated a total of 50,000 units of blood.
Those who are eligible to donate blood can make an appointment through the Blood Donor App, by visiting redcrossblood.org and entering the sponsor code BOB23, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
