WE PARTY WITH A PURPOSE

MILWAUKEE AREA PARROTHEAD ASSOCIATION

Our mission is to...

be a congregation of fun individuals living out the philosophies of ParrotHeads by Celebrating our passion for fun and life, and contributing to the community through our efforts on behalf of charitable organizations.

Who we are:We are a non-profit organization whose purpose is to assist in community outreach programs and to provide our members a means of social interaction while in pursuit of Jimmy Buffett’s music and tropical spirit. What we do:We are very proud of our community and our charity work, too. We organize club members and volunteers to help out. But that’s not all. We participate in events all year round to assist charities and environmental causes that are important to our members.


It is with heavy hearts we lift a glass up to the Captain and say "thank you for the trip of a lifetime".
