Join us from 11 a.m - 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23, at Shakopee Police Department to donate blood for our annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive.

Battle of the Badges is an annual event among teams of first responders to raise awareness of the importance of donating blood. In Battle of the Badges, first responders join the community to help save and sustain lives at a time when the blood supply has been dangerously low.

The Department with the highest participation and most life-saving units of blood will win the friendly competition. No matter which department is victorious, the real winner is Memorial Blood Centers, whom we're working with to stock their shelves with this life saving gift.
