05 Feb Bristol-Myers Squibb Grant Supports Training at Princeton First Aid Squad

The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad has received a $15,000 grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb to provide EMT classes to new volunteers and advanced emergency medical and rescue training for all members.

Serving the community since 1939, the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad is an independent, volunteer-led organization dedicated to providing Princeton residents, visitors, and students with professional, courteous, and skilled emergency medical care.

Volunteer EMTs respond to hundreds of calls annually. Continual training ensures the Squad can deliver top-notch patient care and stay prepared for unforeseen disasters.

Bristol-Myers Squibb has a long tradition of investing in nonprofit organizations that strengthen the communities where its employees live and work. The company states it is proud to support first responder training to help ensure our neighbors have the help they need, when they need it.
