Pirate Toy Fund

Pirate Rock Entertainment is a nonprofit organization based in Rochester, NY, dedicated to bringing joy to children in need by distributing new toys throughout the Greater Rochester region. Since its establishment in 1995, the Pirate Toy Fund, co-founded by local children's entertainer Gary the Happy Pirate and Dave and Lorrie Simonetti, has successfully distributed over 500,000 toys and continues to actively seek new opportunities to expand its mission.

Inspired by the remarkable life of Christie Simonetti, daughter of Dave and Lorrie and a close friend of Gary, the Pirate Toy Fund is the only nonprofit of its kind in the country, committed to providing year-round toy donations to children in need. With ongoing initiatives such as the 2023 13WHAM News Pirate Toy Fund Toy Drive and the Christie Simonetti Classic, the organization expresses gratitude to its supporters and invites individuals to participate in making a difference by donating toys or joining their events.
