Battle of the Badges charity softball game returns

On Saturday, Spitz Stadium will host the annual Battle of the Badges charity softball game. 

Lethbridge Police (Team Blue) and Lethbridge Fire (Team Red) take to the field in support of two worthy local causes. 

This year’s matchup will feature seven innings of play, along with special police and fire-themed entertainment between the second and third innings. 

Lethbridge Police Service Cst. Tianna Fieguth said Battle of the Badges highlights the strong working relationship between emergency services. “We’re proud to come together to support a fun, family-friendly event that directly benefits our community.” 

In addition to the game, attendees can enjoy a variety of activities, including themed concession items, a 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction featuring custom police and fire jerseys. 

Proceeds from Team Blue’s fundraising efforts will support Special Olympics, while Team Red will raise funds for pediatric recreational equipment at Chinook Regional Hospital. 

Community members are encouraged to bring their families, cheer loudly, wear blue for police or red for fire.
