How You Can Help

There are many ways you can help the Pirate Toy Fund achieve its mission. We’d love to hear from you!

You can donate a new, unwrapped toy any time of the year by dropping it in the Pirate Toy Fund donation box at the Strong Museum of Play, Marketplace Mall, Eastview Mall, or the Mall at Greece Ridge (the mall donation boxes are located in the Customer Service areas).

You can give us the cash to purchase the toy ourselves, or to help us defray operating expenses. $10 buys a toy for a child in need, and $50 buys a specialized adaptive toy for a child with disabilities. Send a check or donate through Pay Pal — whichever is convenient for you.


Your company might want to become a Pirate Toy Fund sponsor — give us a call to discuss the available opportunities.

We have coin donation canisters set up at various businesses across the area. If you know of a business who would like to set out one of the canisters, or if your school would like to conduct a fundraiser to turn spare change into treasure, give us a call!

And we always need volunteers — at our January Toy Sort, at our various fundraising events during the year, or just to help us with building maintenance. To volunteer, please fill out this form below:
