Second annual pie throw gets requests from as far away as Dalhousie
The Engineering Student Society 'A' raised over $2,100 for the Janeway Children’s Foundation with their second annual Pi Throw. On March 14, student volunteers from the faculty delivered pies around the St. John’s campus and around the city. For $10 you could have a pie delivered to anyone in St. John’s and Mount Pearl. Volunteers picked up contributions and delivered pies. Those on the receiving end could take the pie in the face, buy the pie for $20, redirect the pie for $10, or choose not to participate.
VP of Finance for the Society and electrical engineering student Stephanie Roberts says they didn’t keep track of the number of pies thrown but she estimated that approximately 40 - 50 pies were actually thrown at victims on Tuesday. “We did receive many interesting orders for pies. One order came in from Central Newfoundland to be sent to her friends at a business here in St. John's. Another came from an engineering student from Dalhousie to be sent to a student here at MUN. It was an extremely fun day and we'd like to thank everyone that supported Pi Throw 2006!”
Sponsors for the event included Sobeys, City Tire and Auto, Blue Sky Promotions, Best Dispensers Ltd.
