The Guns got the trophy, but everyone was a winner. In a neck-and-neck brawl for blood, our first responders, along with support from the community, brought their A game, doubling the number of donations for the Guns and Hoses Blood Battle compared to last year. A grand total of 88 people came out to support the event, which was dually sponsored by Queensborough National Bank and Shepeard Community Blood Center. The Guns had 45 total supporters while the Hoses were on their heels with 43.
