About Seawolf Privateers
Who we Are
Seawolf Privateers, Inc. is a dedicated local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to raising funds to support foster and displaced children in a variety of meaningful ways. From providing engaging events to organizing social activities, we strive to create a sense of belonging and joy for these children during challenging times.
Our passionate crew of local residents, donned in pirate garb, works tirelessly to foster an environment where children feel safe, cherished, and part of something bigger—a true pirate family! Known for our signature murder mystery fundraisers and participation in county festivals, we bring smiles to countless children while raising awareness and promoting our mission throughout the community.
In addition to events, we also provide new placement packages filled with essential items for children entering foster care, ensuring they feel welcomed and supported from the start. Our efforts extend to supporting families with food distribution, Easter baskets, and Christmas gifts, making holidays and everyday life a little brighter for children in need.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to improve the lives of local foster and displaced children by supporting the family unit, fostering unity, and creating a sense of normalcy. Together, we make a lasting impact on the lives of the children who need it most.
