The Logan County Board of Developmental Disabilities hosts the annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13, at the Discovery Center.
Blood supply is in greater need throughout the holiday season and every donation can save up to three lives. Register online at www.donortime.com or call Deb Morrison at 292-3011.
All donors will vote on which badge they want to win the annual Battle of the Badges — the Logan County Sheriff’s Office, Bellefontaine Police Department or Bellefontaine Fire Department.
The winning department will get to keep the traveling trophy and have bragging rights for an entire year.
