Dalton Police and Dalton Fire Departments are challenging each other — and the community — to give blood with the American Red Cross during the “Battle of the Badges” blood drive.

Battle of the Badges is a friendly competition that challenges local firefighters, law enforcement and other emergency personnel to find out which department can donate the most units of blood. Friends, family, and community members are urged to give blood and vote for their favorite agency.
