Party with a Purpose
Parrotheads, inspired by Jimmy Buffett’s legacy, have always believed in giving back—raising funds for worthy causes while celebrating life.We share that spirit by working to leave the world a little better than we found it, supporting our community, and helping to protect our precious waters and coral reefs
In 2025 we were proud to add Eternal Reef to our charities
Bill Brehm, President of Parrot Heads in Paradise and our local Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club, shares about the Eternal Reefs program and a very special, one-time partnership with Parrot Heads in Paradise to create a living reef 21 miles off Key West. We are proud that our Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club contributed half the funding for this meaningful project.
The Parrot Head Reef will be dedicated to music’s beloved Jimmy Buffett, a passionate ocean conservation advocate. Organizers have targeted Tuesday, September 1, 2026, for the inauguration of the project, three years after his passing. The reef will be located off Key West, one of Jimmy’s most famously favorite and storied cities.
The marine area will become a dedicated space for underwater memorials featuring individual reef balls containing plaques paying homage to the original beach lover and ocean advocate. The reef will be comprised of two sizes of reef balls, ranging in size from about 600 to 1,600 pounds, and each will feature an 8-inch circular bronze plaque, custom designed by each entity which purchases the memorial.
