The Perrysburg police and fire divisions are gearing up for a friendly competition in a Battle of the Badges Blood Drive, where the community can donate blood while showing support for their favorite first responders.

The event will be from noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Schaller Memorial Building, 130 W. Indiana Ave. Donors must schedule appointments in advance with the Red Cross by visiting redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time.

Participants will have the opportunity to vote for either the police or fire division after donating blood. The division with the most votes will earn bragging rights, organizers said.

The blood drive is open to the public.
