First responders compete in Battle of the Badges towards reward of saving lives
LEHI, Utah (July 11, 2019) — The Lehi City Police and Fire Departments put their own lives on the line almost every day as they race towards danger to save others. It is no surprise that both agencies will soon race towards the ultimate goal of helping save lives at their American Red Cross Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Monday, July 15, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lehi Senior Center, 123 N. Center St.
“The Lehi Police and Fire are honored to work with the Red Cross to host this friendly competition between departments for the benefit of the community. We know the citizens of Lehi will turn out and donate to such a great cause and the Police Department looks forward to defending our title from last year,” said police Sgt. Chad Ray, Lehi Police Department.
During the blood drive, the Lehi Police and Fire Departments will compete to see who can recruit the most blood donors. Everyone who comes to give blood can cast a vote to determine who will win this year’s bragging rights.
This blood drive comes as the Red Cross faces an emergency need for blood donors to give now to help avoid delays in lifesaving medical care for patients this summer. Right now, blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. More donations are immediately needed to help replenish the blood supply.
How to help
Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate using the Blood Donor App, at RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and use the sponsor code battle of the badges. Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate.
Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this summer by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.

Hi Friend,
I'm only $900 away from reaching my goal of $5,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). I was blessed with a once in a lifetime opportunity to help JDRF T1D and ride 100 miles in the desert, Death Valley California, WoW what an opportunity. Please help me reach my goal with a small donation directly to the JDRF. I would be so grateful as I know the JDRF would too! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Also feel free to share my link with your family & friends.
With Gratitude,
David Schiff
