Police, sheriff’s office, and fire rescue are going head-to-head in a friendly rivalry to see who can collect the most donors. With summer’s vacationers and fewer young donors on deck, demand is soaring while supply plummets—especially for type O blood. First responders are rallying the community, emphasizing that giving blood is just as vital as responding to emergencies. Donors can get movie tickets or even win a car, and the drive runs Sunday, July 19th, from noon to 6 PM—just 45 minutes to give, plus ID required.
