This is the program book for the first annual Drive for Lives charity golf event, presented by AnaŞen Health to benefit the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad. The event took place on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at The Bedens Brook Club. The book is intended for event participants, sponsors, and supporters of PFARS.
The book opens with a welcome letter from event chair John L. Griffith III, who thanks sponsors, volunteers, and organizers for supporting PFARS's 87-year legacy of emergency medical services. It includes the full event schedule from breakfast at 7:30 AM through the closing at 2:30 PM, with a shotgun start at 9:00 AM and BBQ lunch at 1:00 PM.
Sponsor pages list title sponsor AnaŞen Health, along with lunch, breakfast, and golf gift sponsors. Premium hole sponsors include Fire & Safety Services, L. Brook Homes, and V.E. Ralph & Sons. Additional hole sponsors and prize donors are also acknowledged.
A featured interview with donor Al Toto Jr. discusses his father Al Toto Sr., an early PFARS member who served as president and treasurer. Toto Jr. describes how his father would leave their family food business on Witherspoon Street to respond to emergencies, and reflects on the squad's evolution from a volunteer organization to one with career EMTs.
The book describes rescue technician services including technical rope rescue, confined space operations, swiftwater rescue, and vehicle extrication. It lists the squad's fleet: five ambulances, a heavy rescue vehicle, a utility truck, an ATV with medical module, and a marine unit boat serving Lake Carnegie.
Historical facts note that PFARS traces back to a first-aid committee formed within Princeton Engine Company No.1 in 1938, officially organizing on April 29, 1939. The squad purchased its first ambulance, a Cadillac, for $3,500 in 1941.
