Williston North Dakota Gears Up For Battle of The Badges
The annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive pits the Williston Police Department against the Williston Fire Department. Together with Vitalant, the Williston Police Department and Williston Fire Department will hold a fun competition to help spread the word about North Dakota's critically low blood supply. The New Armory will host the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive on February 3 and 4, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm both days.
Everyone is welcome to enter this fun blood drive. There are about 150 slots available each day and every donor will be given one vote for either Team Fire or Team Law. Organizers also have a traveling trophy to show off, and the Williston Fire Department is looking to keep the hardware.
