January - 2010 Battle of the Badges...Law Enforcement VS Fire
The Battle of the Badges is an opportunity for all badge carrying personnel, including friends and family, to positively impact our community by competing in a friendly competition to see who can donate the most blood and ultimately save the most lives.
Blood supplies typically fall to critically low levels during the winter months.
We can have a substantial impact on the availability of blood for accident victims, cancer patients, premature babies and burn patients.
We have a family member, a friend, or a neighbor in need of blood and we can help.
Why do we participate?
* Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
* Less than 3 percent of the Southern California population donates blood.
* In Southern California, The American Red Cross must collect more than 400,000 blood donations each year to help local patients.
* The community blood supply is everyone's responsibility
* you will help save lives
 
 Please join us on this day and lets save lives together.
