San Ramon Cops, Firefighters To Battle At 'Badges' Blood Drive

SAN RAMON, CA — San Ramon police officers and firefighters will be battling to see which agency can give the most blood, and the community is invited to get in on the action. Help save lives by participating in San Ramon’s 2nd Annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive scheduled May 22. The American Red Cross is holding the 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. event at the San Ramon Police Department’s training room located at 2401 Crow Canyon Road.

In 2018, the SRPD bested firefighters in the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive with 28 donors compared to San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District’s 16 contributors. No doubt, SRVFD is looking forward to the rematch!
