Sierra Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Wednesday in Reno

Vitalant is looking to end the summer strong and fill our blood supply by partnering with local first responders for a blood drive.

The 7th Annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive will be at Greater Nevada Field Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Walk-ins are welcome. All donors can enter to win prizes and receive this year’s new Battle of the Badges T-shirt.

Vitalant says with the help of first responders, they collect about 1,700 units in the summer.

Vitalant says only about 3% of the U.S. population donates, but a patient in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds.
