Reno, NEV. - Thanks to the generosity of more than 80 Northern Nevadans, up to 240 lives were saved by United Blood Services and the Reno Aces at today's Battle of the Badges Blood Drive. The drive was held Wednesday, August 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Greater Nevada Field.

In addition to blood donation, donors received free Aces swag and a t-shirt for their much-needed participation.

"The summer is a very challenging time to collect blood due to many reasons so we are thankful for the tremendous support from the Reno Aces to help boost our community's blood supply together," said Scott Edward, Donor Marketing and Communications Director for United Blood Services. "Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, so these blood drives are a big part of our efforts to meet patient needs."
