Last year, you helped us give away over 46,000 toys to children in need throughout the Greater Rochester region.

The Pirate Toy Fund is the only nonprofit organization in the country that supplies new toys year-round to agencies that bring aid and comfort to thousands of children in need throughout the Greater Rochester region. Co-Founded by local children's entertainer, Gary the Happy Pirate and Dave and Lorrie Simonetti, the Pirate Toy Fund has distributed over 500,000 toys since 1995 and continues to actively pursue new avenues to expand its mission. The founders were inspired by the extraordinary life of Christie Simonetti; special friend to Gary and daughter of Dave and Lorrie.
