The
South Carolina Midland’s
Jimmy Buffett fan club was founded in January 1997 and
is an officially sanctioned chapter of the national organization known
as
Parrot Heads in Paradise.
Although
Parrot
Heads are known for having a good time, their outrageous concert
behavior and
dress code is offset by their truly inspiring philanthropic efforts.
For years,
hundreds of fan clubs have banded together in communities across the
country
giving their time, their money, and even their blood all in a spirit of
camaraderie. Hard core fans all over the United States, Canada,
England, and Australia
contain groups founded on fun and philanthropy in what Parrot Heads
proudly
refer to as “Partying With A Purpose”. In 2007, local chapters of PHIP
contributed over 2.9 million dollars and 181,000 man-hours to local and
national charities.
The Palmetto Parrot Head Club supports
local charities such as The Alzheimer’s Association, Toys for Tots,
Carolina
Children’s Home, and River Sweep among many others.
