Battle of the Badges
Congratulations to Team Fire on another Battle of the Badges victory with 1008 donations! This friendly competition is about more than the final score. It’s a shared effort to maintain a strong blood supply for those in need. We also thank Team Police and their dedicated supporters for showing up and making such an important impact on our community.
Battle of the Badges is back, bringing together the community in support of first responders! From July 1-6, 2025, first responders will compete to see who can rally the most blood donors.
By donating, you’ll help save lives and receive:
- A Gulf Coast Blood T-shirt
- A $25 eGift Card
- One general admission ticket to Dig World
Additionally, donors in the Greater Houston Area who give blood from July 1 - 3, 2025, will receive a Shell Freedom Over Texas ticket. There will be a limited supply, so don’t wait - act fast!
Donors can give blood at any of the drives listed below or at any Gulf Coast Blood location. When you donate, tell our team which side you’re supporting. The winning team will earn bragging rights and be featured on our website and social media.
This summer, step up for your community and first responders. Schedule your appointment today and be part of Battle of the Badges!
