These one-of-a-kind events bring skippers and pirates together to create fantastic memories for children who have special needs and their families. With the support of volunteers and sponsors this magical

day takes children out to sea for an unforgettable pirate adventure then off to a fun-filled festival on Treasure Island. Not only do we give over 1,000 families a day of worry-free fun but we raise funds so Variety can continue to help kids long after the event is over.
