Grants Pass residents are being called upon to support their police officers and firefighters in donating blood at tomorrow's "Battle of the Badges."
Please join the Grants Pass Police Department and Grants Pass Fire & Rescue in supporting the American Red Cross by donating blood in the GPPD Training Room at 726 NE 7th Street on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m..
Battle of the Badges is a friendly competition between the agencies. You can show your support for either the police or fire departments by telling Red Cross staff which agency you are donating blood on behalf of.
Of course, both GPPD and GP Fire & Rescue would appreciate your support. But the most important thing is to donate blood and blood products to the Red Cross as it prepares for the summer season.
Maximize your blood donation. Help more patients. If you are an eligible Type O, B- or A- donor, consider making a Power Red Donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.
You can make an appointment through the Red Cross Blood Donor App, by calling 1-(800)-RED-CROSS or by visiting "RedCrossBlood.org" where you can simply enter "GrantsPassFireRescue" to schedule your appointment.
