Pi-Throw

Seeing as how it's eating through all of my time I might as well blog about it. So I present to you one of the reasons I'm running away to Calgary this weekend:

Pi-Throw is an annual charity event held by the Saskatoon Engineering Students'’ Society (S.E.S.S.). Pi -Throw will take place from November 16^th through 18^th (Wednesday through Friday).

Our Charities:

• Tamara's House: A local non-profit organization dedicated to providing services to support the complete healing of adult survivors of child sexual abuse.
• Website: www.tamarashouse.sk.ca

• Engineers Without Borders: An international development organization dedicated to promoting human development through access to appropriate technology.
• Websites: www.saskatchewan.ewb.ca (local chapter), www.ewb.ca (national)

How Pi-Throw Works:

• Individuals pay to have a friend, family member, or colleague pied in the face with a custard pie at a given time and place. Sending a pie costs $10.
• Anyone who receives a pie has four options:

1. Take the pie in the face for free (a garbage bag and paper towels are provided)
2. Re-direct the pie to anyone in Saskatoon for $10
3. Buy the pie for $20
4. Choose not to participate

• Volunteers deliver the pie and give the person to be pied his/her options.

• If the person chooses to take the pie in the face for free, volunteers auction off the rights to pie the person to the highest bidder.

To Send a Pie:

• Call the S.E.S.S. office at 966-7700, come to the office in person, or visit the kiosk at the base of the Place Riel escalators. Pies can be sent anywhere in Saskatoon between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.

• Cash, cheques, debit, Visa and MasterCard are accepted at the office, but the kiosk is cash only. Cheques should be made out to the S.E.S.S. and tax receipts will be provided upon request.
