Learning, teaching and practicing quantitative finance is fun. It is also supposed to pay our bills. "One More Reason" to do what we do is to help people with more urgent needs than ours.
"One More Reason" started in 2005, when Attilio donated the first royalty check from his book to charity. After that, Attilio donated the subsequent checks. Those royalties were followed by the proceeds from a series of executive trainings and seminars on quantitative finance which Attilio has offered worldwide in his free time.
As of today, "One More Reason" has collected and donated over $150,000 US. You can learn more about "One More Reason" here.

The 2010 edition of the Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management intensive course represents the climax of "One More Reason".
