We're excited to announce the start of our 23rd Annual Pirate Toy Fund Drive starting Friday, November 24, 2023. From 11/24 to 12/2, we will be represented by business owners in our community at various collection sites throughout the week. Our Toy Drive continues after the kickoff week allowing businesses to collect NEW unwrapped toys for us through December 22, 2023.

The Pirate Toy Fund’s mission has been to get toys to kids in need of comfort at exactly the moment they most need it. It’s a simple process that has worked for over 20 years: Rochester residents donate toys or funds to purchase toys, and the Pirate Toy Fund distributes the toys to Rochester-area agencies, hospitals, and first responders.

Last year, with the help of our community we collected over 36,000 toys!
