Price Waterhouse Cooper’s (PwC) Pittsburgh’s office recently held “Pi-a-Partner Day,” a National Pi Day-themed event to raise awareness for local nonprofits and provide donation opportunities.

Dan Waltman, Principal for Wealth Management Tax Services at PwC, has been involved with Trying Together for four years and serves as treasurer for the board of directors. He chose to raise money to benefit Trying Together.

“Having young twin boys with full-time working parents was what drew me to get involved with Trying Together,” Waltman said. “The positive impacts that child care providers have had on my children is undeniable.” 

Waltman offered an incentive to potential donors: if he reached his original goal of $2,500, he would be pied in the face. He surpassed that goal by raising $2,780.

“Dan’s fundraiser on behalf of Trying Together is one of the more creative efforts I’ve seen – and I applaud his success!” said Cara Ciminillo. “On behalf of Trying Together, I thank him for his commitment to supporting the work of early childhood.”

Those interested in donating to Waltman’s fundraising effort can still do so on PwC’s fundraising page.

National Pi Day

National Pi Day, which was celebrated March 14, is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π. The day is celebrated on that particular day because 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant features of pi, and March is the third month (the 1 and 4 are represented by the 14th day).
