Join us for the 22nd Annual South Valley Battle of the Badges Blood Drive. All November Long!

Our local first responders stop at nothing to save lives and that’s why these badge holders are facing off for the 22nd annual South Valley Battle of the Badges. As they have for the last several years, Firefighters, Police, Forestry, Sheriff, Corrections, Fish & Wildlife, Highway Patrol and other badge-carrying emergency personnel will compete to save the most lives through blood donations.

In 2022, these entities saved over 2,250 lives in just one month. This year we’re hoping to reach a new milestone to save 2,500 lives.

This year it’ll take place November 1st through November 30th at the Central California Blood Center in Visalia. In addition, mobile drives will be held across Fresno, Tulare, and Kings Counties for those who cannot make it to a donor center. The public is invited to participate and pledge their pint for their favorite badge-carrying group! Together, Life Flows From Here.

If you would like to have a great impact or need more information, please reach out to Ryan Jackson at rjackson@donateblood.org.
