The 2025 Battle of the Badges blood drive wrapped up on Friday with the American Red Cross exceeding its collection goal for blood donations.

The two-day drive was held at St. Thomas More Church in Manhattan, with a goal of collecting 145 pints of blood.

“I am excited to announce that we surpassed that goal and collected 163 lifesaving pints of blood,” Red Cross spokesperson Kristi Ingalls said. “I know that I say it every year, but summer is truly a hard time for us to collect blood, and you all come through for us every year and this year was no different.”
