Good Morning Burnsville Fire Department, Friends, and Families,

I hope you're having a great week. The Burnsville Battle of the Badges is right around the corner and the Burnsville Fire Department is looking to take home this year's trophy but we need your help!

As a reminder, Battle of the Badges is a partnership with the American Red Cross and a friendly competition between the Burnsville Fire Department, Yancey County Sheriffs, EMS, and Burnsville Police Department.

The Agency that brings in the most blood donors brings home the coveted Battle of the Badges Trophy. This year's event couldn't come at a better time as our community's blood supply hit a critical low last month.

Please consider selecting an appointment today for Friday, February 27th at the Burnsville Fire Department and encourage a friend, family member, and colleague to do the same.

You can scan the QR Code on the attached flyer or go to redcrossblood.org and enter code: BattleofBadgesBurnsville to find the time that works best.

And remember to vote for the Burnsville Fire Department on the day of the event.

Blood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need just feels good. Donate blood today to help those in need.
