The article from InForum discusses a blood drive competition between the West Fargo Fire Department and the West Fargo Police Department, aimed at saving lives through blood donations. This event, which took place at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds, was part of a broader initiative by Vitalant, a nonprofit blood services provider, to address the critical need for blood donations, especially during the summer when donations typically decrease. The competition not only fosters community spirit but also highlights the ongoing need for blood, with each department striving to outdo the other in donor turnout. The drive was set to continue until 6 p.m. on the day of the event, emphasizing the urgency and importance of community involvement in blood donation efforts.
