We are a Proud Sponsor of the Pirate Toy Fund and their Mission

For many years, The Pirate Toy Fund has been spreading happiness among children in the city of Rochester. This exceptional initiative has been reaching out to various agencies, hospitals, and first responders to distribute toys and make a positive impact on the lives of children. The Pirate Toy Fund has been sailing through different communities, bringing joy to countless children.

Founded in 1995 by local radio personality and community advocate Gary the Happy Pirate (Gary Smith), the Pirate Toy Fund set sail with a simple yet profound mission—to ensure that every child in the Rochester area experiences the magic of receiving a toy, especially during the holiday season. With a spirit of generosity and a touch of pirate flair, Gary embarked on a journey to make a difference in the lives of those who needed it most. They understand that not every child has the same access to toys and the joy they bring. By collecting new, unwrapped toys year-round, the Pirate Toy Fund addresses this gap and strives to create moments of happiness for children facing economic hardships.

Making Waves With The Communities Support

Local businesses, schools, and individuals come together to donate toys, volunteer their time, and contribute to fundraising efforts so that the Pirate Toy Fund can spread joy year-round. They operate throughout the year to ensure that children in Rochester have new toys on birthdays, special occasions, and when they face unexpected challenges. This approach helps to ensure that children have a consistent source of joy in their lives.
