Memorial Blood Centers’ Battle of the Badges challenges fire and police departments from across the metropolitan area in a friendly competition to save and sustain lives through blood donation. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to support your Golden Valley Fire and Police Departments.

In November 2000, Edina Police Officer Mike Blood was shot multiple times at close range by a bank robber with an assault rifle. He needed 19 operations and 120 units of blood and spent a year in the hospital. Thanks to a supply of blood donated by others, he had a chance to recover.

To learn more about Mike and how donated blood saved his life, go to https://www.mbc.org/donate-blood/stories/recipients/mike/.

About the Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train

Since 1999, the Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train has traveled across the United States and Canada entertaining communities and raising money and collecting donations for local food banks. The train will make its fourth stop in Golden Valley in 2019, with all proceeds benefiting PRISM.

The 1,000-foot Holiday Train will roll into Golden Valley Wed, Dec 11, 4:45 pm, stopping at the railway crossing at Golden Hills Dr. Its 14 rail cars will be decorated with hundreds of thousands of LED lights and holiday designs.

Get there early and enjoy food and hot beverages from food trucks like Sandy's Grill & Italian Ice, Mobile Brats and Burgers, Sweet Dreams Candy, and The Wandering Mug.

Upon arrival, a stage door lowers for musical performances and a brief presentation with local dignitaries and food bank representatives. After 30 minutes, the boxcar door closes and the train moves on to the next stop.

Parking

Public parking will be available in the Allianz park garage. Drivers will ONLY be allowed to enter the Allianz parking garage from southbound Xenia Ave. Vehicles traveling north on Xenia Ave will not be able to enter the garage. See parking/detour map for details. Limited parking will also be available in the Collonade parking garage beginning at 4 pm.

Food Shelf Donations

Donations of healthy food options are encouraged (see CP's Healthy Donations suggestions). It's also a good idea to check with PRISM regarding its specific needs. Donated items can be dropped in bins near the stairwells in the Allianz parking garage or at Finnegan's Reverse Food Truck

Holiday Toy Drive

Along with accepting food donations, PRISM will also be collecting new, unwrapped presents for its annual Holiday Toy Shoppe, to put a little magic into the holiday season for the 1000+ children it serve. Most desired gift options are sports attire, perfume, make-up, cologne, and more. It’s also a good idea to check with PRISM regarding its specific toy drive needs.
