LAFD Announces Final Event: 'Battle of the Badges' Blood Drive in Granada Hills

Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department and their families welcome you to join them on February 28, 2013 in Granada Hills for "The Final Event", as Battle of the Badges comes to a close. This spirited competition among more than 200 Southern California public safety agencies has us seeking healthy blood donors - like you!

Why You?

In Southern California, less than 3% of the population donates – leading to frequent shortages of the most-needed types of blood. At a time when donations traditionally decline, Firefighters and Paramedics need your help to ensure a healthy blood supply in our region.

You can support "Team LAFD" during this final competition - which is open to the public, as each donor can cast a vote for their favorite public safety agency.

Your participation is quick and simple. Just call the Los Angeles Fire Department member listed below to schedule your appointment:

Thursday, February 28, 2013
7:00 AM - 1:00 PM
LAFD Station 87
10124 Balboa Boulevard

To thank you for helping LAFD meet the challenge, blood donors will receive a gift bag including a Battle of the Badges T-Shirt, coupon for a free appetizer at a popular restaurant chain, and tickets to a renowned comedy club*. Most importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you joined LAFD members and their families in saving lives. Learn more today at:
