Health and Fitness : LIFESERVE BLOOD CENTER INVITES YOU TO SAVE LIVES ALONG WITH OUR LOCAL HEROES

Join us for this year's Battle of the Badges promotion, where you'll honor the service and sacrifice of Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, and members of EMS by donating blood in their name. Pick your team when you arrive to one of our Donor Centers or designated blood drives. Every drop donated makes a difference in our community.

Blood donations drop during the Fourth of July holiday week, but accidents, emergencies, and trauma cases don't take time off. Your donation is urgently needed to support hospital patients in need of lifesaving transfusions.

All donors who give blood between Monday, June 30 and Saturday, July 5, will be entered to win a sizzling summer prize: a portable outdoor pizza oven! Don't miss your chance to save lives and fire up the flavor this summer at any of our Donor Centers or participating mobile blood drives!

To schedule your lifesaving donation appointment, visit lifeserve.info/battle25 or call 800-287 4903.
