Great Hill Hose Company in Seymour to hold blood drive Saturday

SEYMOUR - As First Responders, we see the need for blood more than most people do. 

The Great Hill Hose Company has been hosting blood drives for over 40 years, yet with each year, less and less blood is donated.

So let’s change that! This Saturday we are hosting our first “Battle of the Badges” Blood Drive. 

We’re calling upon all our local emergency service agencies across the Valley. The organization with the most donators will later receive a celebratory plaque, along with T-Shirts and other giveaway prizes that will be given out the day of!

Simply make an appointment that day to donate blood, mention the name of the emergency organization you are with, and it will be counted in the tally!

Help us save lives in more ways than one!
