Princeton St. Patrick's Day Party to Benefit Family of Fallen EMT

Men, are your beards getting long yet?

It's only days away from the end of The Alchemist & Barrister's Annual LongBeard Benefit at the pub's St. Patrick's Day Party on Sunday March 17 beginning at 5 p.m. 

Beards will be measured with prizes and bragging rights awarded for the Longest Beard, Ugliest Beard and Best Looking Beard.

The evening of festivities benefit a local charity and this year's recipients will be the wife and daughter of the late Michael Kenwood. A member of the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, Kenwood lost his life during a rescue attempt during Hurricane Irene in 2011.  

"Each year, our staff and patrons support a local charity that reflects the courage and commitment of our community," said A&B's Executive Chef/Owner Arthur Kukoda. "There is no better example of that courage and commitment than Michael Kenwood who lost his life trying to save another."

Last year, A&B's St. Patrick's Day celebration raised $10,000 for Derek's Dreams, to help 15-year old Derek DiGregorio who suffers from Ataxia Telangiectasia, a rare neurodegenerative disease.
