Princeton contingent comes to the rescue. Decked
out in their uniforms, these Princeton University students
stand on the sidelines during the football games at
Princeton Stadium. They are ready and willing to go out on
the field, but happy if they are not called to do so. Current news and
events
These students are members of a team that
has nothing to do with making touchdowns. They are part of
the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, a group of
approximately 60 volunteers from both the town and
University communities, whose primary goal is saving lives.
They score points seven days a week, 24 hours a day by
protecting the health and welfare of Princeton residents and
visitors.
In recognition of the "close and
mutually beneficial relationship that has existed between
the squad and the University for many years," said President
Shapiro, the University recently agreed to donate $155,000
to cover the cost of acquiring a new heavy-duty ambulance.
This contribution is in addition to the University's annual
$25,000 contribution to the squad's operating expenses, as
well as other in-kind contributions, such as no-cost summer
housing for two University students who stay in Princeton to
serve as volunteers on the squad.
