Staff Report
Another successful Battle of the Badges Blood Drive. According to Shannon Perez and Fallon’s Ladies Behind the Badge, who coordinated and volunteered for the event, the Fallon Police Department made 96 pledge donations, with last year’s victors, the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office, following closely behind with 80 pledge donations. The event drew a total of 159 donors and yielded outstanding results of 101 Whole donations and 26 Power Red donations, which will save 367 lives.
“I learned this week that we are one of the biggest blood drives here in Fallon, and this is one of the most giving communities in Nevada,” said Perez. “Thank you to the sheriff and the chief for supporting this year’s battle by saying yes to the competition…and thank you to everyone who came out to donate, volunteer, and support this awesome effort. This community amazes me every year.”
