Battle of the Badges
Give Blood. Back Your Badge.
Battle of the Badges returns once again, bringing our community together in support of the first responders who serve us every day.
Give blood from June 29 – July 5, 2026, and let our staff know whether you're donating on behalf of local Fire or Police departments.
More importantly, every blood donation supports patients across our region who rely on a safe and steady blood supply. When you give, you help ensure hospitals are prepared for emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatments, and more.
As a thank-you for donating, you will receive:
- $25 eGift Card, redeemable in the Donor Rewards Store*
- Battle of the Badges baseball cap**
*Your reward points will be added to your Digital Donor account within 2-3 business days after your donation. Redeem your eGift Card in the Reward Store and ensure your account has a valid email address. eGift Cards are valid at popular retailers.
**While supplies last. Promotional items may be substituted for an item of equal value.
How to Redeem Your Gift Card:
- Two days after your donation, your points will be available in your Digital Donor account. Access the Reward Store to redeem your eGift Card.
- Before ordering your eGift Card, ensure your Digital Donor account has a valid email address so you don’t miss out on your rewards!

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!
