Pi Day has become an annual celebration of the mathematical constant pi (π). Pi Day, as in 3.14 – the third month, fourteenth day. And it’s a really important day when it comes to fundraising at Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital. Popular ways to celebrate include eating pie and other circular-shaped treats. This year, St. Mary’s Hospital expects to celebrate Pi Day by delivering more than 400 delicious Wild Rose Co-op pies to more than 140 businesses and residents around Camrose. Now is the time to phone in your personal or corporate pie order to 780.679.6145. Hospital Auxiliary volunteers will hand deliver the pies on lucky Friday the 13th of March as a recognition of support of our amazing rural Hospital. Thanks to generous support, St. Mary’s Hospital Auxiliary has been able to contribute to important ongoing equipment projects for the hospital. Fundraising and grants to St. Mary’s Hospital ensure that education and state-of-the-art equipment is available to attract and support talented physicians and staff – ultimately enhancing patient comfort and care.
