The Fernandina Pirates Club’s Royal Ball raised funds for their holiday programs and another $500.00 to assist Joy to the Children.
Fernandina Beach, FL – The Fernandina Pirates Club hosted the Pirate Royal Ball in November raising funds to help feed several families for Thanksgiving. Other funds will provide a Christmas for Nassau County families and on Christmas Day, over 30 Pirates will invade Joy to the Children, a local organization that provides a Christmas celebration to 175 children. The invasion includes costumed pirates who are prepared to play with the children, sing along with Christmas carols and await the arrival of Santa Claus.The Pirate Royal Ball included a buffet dinner, live music by Tuff-A-Nuff, a silent auction and raffle. Ticket sales and generous donations help the Pirates continue to provide much needed assistance to residents of Nassau County. The Pirates want our local businesses to know how instrumental they have been in helping those less fortunate in our community by their donations.
