It's that time of year...Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Competition between Plano Police and Plano Fire is back! Giving blood saves lives. All donors will receive a commemorative T-shirt, a goody bag and get the chance to register to win a trip for two to the San Gabriel House Bed and Breakfast in Georgetown, Texas (compliments of Take Time To Travel). Donate from Thursday, July 10 - Sunday, July 13.

PLUS...cast your ballot for Police or Fire at any of the blood drive locations. The badge with the most votes wins the coveted Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Trophy!
