Battle of the Badges is part competition, part community celebration—and 100% about supporting the men and women who show up for us every day.First responder teams will compete in a series of fun, physical, and teamwork-focused challenges designed to be inclusive, spirited, and entertaining. While the competition happens on the field, the fairgrounds will be open to the public, featuring food trucks, music, kids' activities, and opportunities to explore emergency vehicles and equipment.
This is a day for:
Friendly rivalry
Community pride
Supporting first responders—together
This year’s Battle of the Badges was created to support a very real need.
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit Galway EMS, helping fund a new driveway and backup generator—infrastructure improvements that ensure faster response times, safer operations, and uninterrupted service during emergencies and power outages.
Every dollar raised stays local. Every sponsor, participant, and attendee plays a role.
This event is rain or shine. Games will be moved to under cover facilities in the event of inclement weather.
