🔥 Twin Cities Battle of the Badges is back! 🔥
On May 30th, 2026, Fire,Police and EMS will go head-to-head once again at Myth Live.

This isn’t just a fight night—it’s a community movement. Local first responders step into the ring to raise funds, awareness, and support for those who serve our cities every day. Big lights. Big energy. Bigger purpose.

We’re still looking for participants
Firefighters, Police, EMS and Corrections- if you’ve ever thought about testing yourself for a great cause, this is your moment.

❤️ Now accepting nominations
We’re also seeking nominations for a first responder facing a medical hardship, so we can rally around one of our own when it matters most. Deadline January 30th.

If you’re ready to fight, know someone who should, or want to nominate a deserving first responder—reach out and get involved.
