Battle of the Badges
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 Regional Blood Center T-shirt as a thank you.
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!
