Battle of the Badges Blood Drive
Our Nashville team was honored to once again sponsor the annual Williamson County Battle of the Badges Blood Drive.
BLHI has supported this drive for over a decade, and we’re very proud of the impact it has on the community. The Brentwood Police, Fire & Rescue Departments, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Nolensville Fire and Rescue Departments all unite for this common cause.
The Brentwood Battle of the Badges started when the Brentwood Assistant Fire Chief, David Windrow was diagnosed with Blood Cancer. He endured multiple blood transfusions a week, chemo treatments, blood work, IVs, etc. for over a year and a half. The Brentwood First Responder Community wanted to help in a way that would make a difference to not only their chief but also the community they serve, so the battle was born! Whether you come out to give for the men and women in red or the men and women in blue, these people are all there for one reason, saving lives through the gift of blood.
This year, we collected 122 units of blood to help 366 patients. Donating blood is a simple way to make a big difference. Click this link to find an opportunity to donate near you.
