Sheriff’s Office Narrowly Wins Battle of the Badges

Sheriff’s Office Narrowly Wins Battle of the Badges

Author: Courtesy Shannon Perez

This year’s 5th Annual Battle of the Badges Blood drive was a huge success, with donors giving a total of 133 units of blood, 23 more than last year, and the most successful blood drive to date. In a neck-and-neck race, the Sheriff’s Office landed the win with 77 check-ins for donations against the Fallon Police Department’s 76. 
The annual two-day blood donation rivalry between the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office and the Fallon Police Department ended in a big win for the community. According to Shannon Perez and Fallon’s Ladies Behind the Badge, who coordinated and volunteered for the event, 99 whole blood and 17 double donations were made. The combined donations will help save 399 lives. 
“Thank you to this amazing community, to all of those that came out to support their favorite agency and who selflessly gave blood that will save lives,” wrote Perez, “Thank you to all the Ladies Behind the Badge that volunteered during the event and those that donated. Thank you to Sheriff Richard Hickox and Chief Ron Wenger, who supported this event from planning to execution.”

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
