MORE THAN 34,000 TOYS​ DISTRIBUTED IN 2017 AROUND THE GREATER ROCHESTER REGION TO CHILDREN IN NEED!
Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex has been selected as one of five locations to host a Pirate Toy Fund drop box this season. If you are not familiar with the Pirate Toy Fund (www.piratetoyfund.org), is it an amazing organization that collects over 30,000 toys annually, which are dispersed throughout our community to children in need.
The toy drive day will take place on Thursday, November 29th, which is a day where the community is welcome to drop off toys in our official drop box (or you can drop off toys ANYTIME leading to the event!). 13 WHAM and 98 PXY will be on site all morning and afternoon doing live segments as part of this event!
The hockey community is unbelievably giving, and this is a great opportunity for us to show the rest of the community just how special our sport is.
The Pirate Toy Fund is the only nonprofit organization in the country dedicated to distributing new toys year-round to children-in-need throughout the Greater Rochester region. Founded by local children’s entertainer, Gary The Happy Pirate, the Pirate Toy Fund has distributed over 250,000 toys since 1995 and continues to actively pursue new avenues to expand our mission. Gary was inspired to found this endeavor by a special friend, Christie Simonetti.
