Our Mission
Turning Good Times
Into Good Deeds
Pirates of the Canal is a volunteer-driven nonprofit serving Lemont and nearby communities. Through annual events in historic downtown Lemont, we raise funds for local charities chosen by our board. Every coin collected goes directly to the causes that strengthen our community.
Founded in 2016 by our Admiral, Rotten Rob Themel, Pirates of the Canal carries on his legacy of generosity, camaraderie, and community spirit. Every event we host honors his vision: to celebrate together, give generously, and keep the pirate tradition alive in Lemont.
