In 1994, Jimmy's Buffett's father, James Delaney Buffett, Jr. was stricken with Alzheimer's disease and passed away at age 83 in May of 2003, several years after being diagnosed. It was then many clubs elected to do something as a tribute to Jimmy's father. Metro Parrot Head Club not only support Alzheimer's to honor Jimmy's father but because we're seeing this devastating plague insinuate itself into our own ranks.

In addition, we'd like to state Parrot Heads are unique. We take our fundraising responsibilities seriously, but at the same time we can add our own humor into the question Why We Walk as well as our own creativity into fundraising.

We invite everyone to join us as we Party With A Purpose for Alzheimer's by donating to the Metro Parrot Head Club today! You leave this world a little better with the eradication of Alzheimer's and having a blast while walking to end Alzheimer's.
