Our Mission

            Pirates of the Canal serves the communities in and around Lemont Il. All donations will be distributed to local area charities.           
      The Pirates of the Canal holds annual events in historic downtown Lemont Il, to raise monies for local charities. All proceeds go directly to the charity groups selected by the board of directors for Pirates of the Canal. Pirates of the Canal hold the right to amend the charities awarded monies from any events.
           
      Pirates of the Canal uses these events founded in 2016 by our Admiral “Rotten Rob Themel”. After his passing, Pirates of the Canal was officially established in his honor to keep these traditions and his memory alive.

SPOTLIGHT

 The first event of our 10 year anniversary year was a success. Thank you to everyone that joined us for our very first Chili Cook-off event. This will be a yearly event at the least. All the entries were very good and made it difficult to decide the best of the best. We hope that everyone had a great day and again, Thank You.
