Middleton’s Battle of the Badges is BACK—and bigger than ever!

Two hometown heroes. Two days of fun. One incredible cause.

Join us for this year’s Battle of the Badges—where Middleton Fire and Police square off in a friendly rivalry to save lives, lift local families, and take home the Golden Hydrant trophy. 

BLOOD DRIVE
Wednesday, August 7 | 2–6 PM
Middleton Fire Department (7600 University Ave)
Donate blood, vote for Team Fire or Team Police, and help give the gift of life. Walk-ins welcome—appointments encouraged! Every pint helps power a win.

SOFTBALL GAME & FAMILY FESTIVAL
Saturday, August 9 | Game starts at 10 AM
Firefighters Memorial Park (3201 Pleasant View Road)
Bring the whole crew for a fun-filled day with concessions, games, face painting, a silent auction, and an epic first responder showdown on the field. First pitch at 10:00 AM sharp (don’t miss the coin toss at 9:55 AM)!

This year, we play for Lenny.
23-month-old Lenny is bravely battling Stage 4 neuroblastoma. Proceeds from this event will support her and other children facing serious illness, in partnership with UW Health and American Family Children’s Hospital.

Since 2012, this event has honored Middleton families and brought our community together in the most meaningful way. Let’s pack the stands, fill the donation chairs, and show what happens when compassion meets competition.
