Origin Story
Pi was playing in an out of state showcase tournament for college recruiters when her three nieces saw her play softball for the first time. After the game they proudly announced they wanted to “play like Pi.” However, Pi’s Aunt couldn’t afford to pay the league registration fees and equip the girls to play. Pi’s family sponsored the girls to play and that’s when Pi recognized how expensive it is for young players to play softball for the first time. It was that moment that inspired her to start the Play Like Pi foundation to help disadvantaged youth play softball for the first time.
