🥎 Battle of the Badges
Presented at the Land O’ Lakes Swamp Fest
The Battle of the Badge is an annual softball tournament that brings together local first responders for some friendly competition — all while raising money for a great cause.
This event is more than just a game — it’s about teamwork, community, and giving back.
⚾ A Growing Tradition
The first Battle of the Badge was held on November 1, 2024, featuring a showdown between two Pasco County Fire Rescue teams.
In 2025, the tournament grew to include:
Two Pasco County Fire teams
One team from Pasco County Corrections
One team from Hernando County Fire Rescue
Each year, the tournament continues to expand — bringing even more departments and community members together.
