San Diego law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel are teaming up for a community blood drive, and everyone is invited to take part.
The drive is part of the United States Police & Fire Championships (USPFC), but it’s open to the entire community. Donors are encouraged to mention “USPFC” when giving blood at any San Diego Blood Bank location.
The USPFC has been part of San Diego since 1967, promoting fitness, camaraderie and wellness among public safety professionals. And while it supports a great cause, this blood drive also features a friendly competition between departments, giving the public a chance to show their support.
As a bonus, everyone who donates will receive a Padres Summer Blood Drive T‑shirt.
The blood drive runs from Sunday, May 10, through Saturday, May 23, and donations can be made at any San Diego Blood Bank location.
