TOLEDO – Customers at Schmucker’s Restaurant made raising money for charity as easy as pie.
On March 13, also known as National Pi Day, $1 of every pie sale was donated to the Cherry Street Mission, regardless of whether customers bought a whole pie or just a slice.
It wasn’t by coincidence that the fundraiser took place on National Pi Day, which has occurred every March 14 since 1988, when physicist Larry Shaw, a staff member at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, linked the date March 14 (3/14) with the first three digits of pi (3.14).
