What is a Parrothead Club?
Who we are and what we do
We are a nonprofit organization that brings people together for friendship, fun and community service. We promote the international network of Parrot Head Clubs as a humanitarian group, sharing social activities for our mutual benefit. Our charitable, educational and social activities support the general welfare of our communities. Our mantra is “party with a purpose and leave the world in a better place.” Our social activities celebrate Jimmy Buffett’s music, the tropical lifestyle and the philanthropic spirit he personified. We are a chapter member of P.H.I.P. (Parrotheads in Paradise; www.phip.com), the international organization. We attend its annual international conference, Meeting of the Minds (M.O.T.M.). During Jimmy Buffett’s annual concert tours in Canada and the U.S., we attended as many of his concerts as we could. P.H.I.P. also sponsors university scholarships. In 2022, two Canadian junior members—known as “parakeets” or “‘keets”—were selected to receive financial assistance for their studies.
Our chapter and community
Our chapter’s main community is the Niagara Region, including all cities and towns within its borders. Since our chapter was formed in 2010, we have supported many charities to help make our communities better places. Our charitable commitment extends beyond the region.
