Columbus Crew vs. Chicago Fire Blood Battle
Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire already know how to battle on the pitch. This November, their fans get a matchup of their own — a chance to donate blood, support their team and help local patients.
The inaugural Columbus Crew vs. Chicago Fire Blood Battle puts supporters on both sides to the test. Each club gets one day to donate, with one blood drive before the Nov. 7 match and one after. Every eligible unit collected adds to the club’s total. And when the final donation is counted, one club will claim the Blood Battle title.
The competition is friendly. The impact is real.
