Saddle up for a merry-go-round showdown! The Pirate Toy Fund’s annual Carousel Derby is back, and our brave “carousel jockeys” are ready to trade gallops for giggles—all to raise funds that bring toys and joy to local children.Sponsor your favorite rider as they take on a two-hour spin aboard The Strong Museum’s iconic Elaine Wilson Carousel. The jockey who raises the most treasure and completes the ride takes home the trophy—but the real winners are the kids we help together.
Post time: Saturday, May 2nd at 1 PM
Cheer them on in person at the museum or catch all the fun with LIVE updates on the Pirate Toy Fund’s Facebook page.
And don’t forget to get in the spirit—dust off your Derby best! Big hats, bold bow ties, and your fanciest carousel-worthy style are all part of the fun. Hold onto your hats, mateys—it’s going to be a whirl of a good time!
