[ARCHIVED] Battle of the Badges Blood Drive coming Aug. 24

Flyer: Battle of the Badges Blood Drive, Thursday, Aug 24 8 am - 3 pm

Killeen Police Department and Killeen Fire Department unite for good cause

KILLEEN, Texas (Aug. 4, 2022) – The City of Killeen is again partnering with Carter BloodCare to host a “Battle of the Badges” Blood Drive on Thursday, Aug. 24 from 8a.m. – 3p.m.

The annual event features ‘boots’ versus ‘badges’ with the Killeen Police Department and the Killeen Fire Department and will be held at the KISD Pratt Learning & Leadership Center (505 East Jasper Road).

The public is invited to donate blood, then cast their ballot for either department. Our police and fire departments will also have giveaways, music, and refreshments.

There’s no real “loser” in this life-saving battle between these two teams, but the department with the least amount of votes will have to wash the vehicles of the winning department.

Donors can scan the QR code on the flyer or visit https://bit.ly/CBloodBB to schedule an appointment. Limited walkups will be accepted.
