American Red Cross to host Battle of the Badges’ Blood Drive

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)— The American Red Cross is hosting their Battle of the Badges’ Blood Drive Friday, May 26 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at two locations in Columbia.

During the events, located at the Richland County Decker Center and the Busby Community Center, donors can vote for their favorite first responder agency.

They’ll choose between the Columbia Police Department, Richland County Sheriff’s Department or the Columbia-Richland Fire Department.

Officials say donors will also receive a Red Cross beach towel while supplies last and, if they donate in May, be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2023 MLB® All-Star Game® in Seattle.
