Vertiv Pi Day Donation 2025

Vertiv Corporation presented the proceeds of their Pi Day event to the STEDTRAIN program to help fund their 2025-26 Seed Grants. Pi day is celebrated on March 14th when the numerical version of the date (3.14) is equivalent to Pi, the ratio of a circle's diameter to the circumference. STEDTRAIN Vice Chair Paul Agarwal accepted the check from Connie Moore at the Vertive office in Huntsville on 24 April 2025.
