Five Slices, Infinite Fun: Try Y’s Pi Returns!
The YMCA at Virginia Tech invites community members of all ages to celebrate Pi Day at the 5th “Try Y’s Pi” event, a delicious and math-inspired tradition taking place on March 14, 2026 (3.14).Pi Day is recognized worldwide in honor of the mathematical constant π (Pi), representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter—approximately 3.14159.
