About Us

PHINZ UP PARROTHEADS!!!

So, you’re interested in joining PHCF? Fantastic! While our name may ring a bell with you, just in case it doesn’t, we are the “people your parents warned you about”!! We are a social group with a community service problem. While Jimmy Buffett’s music and the parrothead lifestyle is part of the reason we exist, it’s not the WHOLE reason!

We are a not-for-profit organization with deep ties to the needs of the Central Florida community, and our main interest is giving back (and, of course, having a good time doing it!)

We certainly enjoy the lifestyle Jimmy sang about in his songs, but we also take to heart his desire that each chartered club, within the international boundaries of Parrot Heads in Paradise (PHiP), fulfill needs within their respective local communities through charitable and community service volunteer work.

We are a social organization for singles, couples and PHamilies and encourage our children (affectionately referred to as ‘keets) to get involved in community service at an early age and help us leave this place “a little better than we found it”. Our members include representatives from a wide variety of employment backgrounds and age groups.

Since our inception in 1992, our Club has been involved in countless hours of volunteer work and donated countless dollars and goods for a variety of beneficiaries. The list includes We Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Second Harvest Food Bank, Together in Teal Ovarian Cancer Walk, Russell Home for Atypical Children, Hawaiian Shirts for Deployed Soldiers, Valor Medical Service Dogs, Pet Alliance, K9s for Warriors, Trop Rock Music Association Artist Relief Fund, and more! We clean beaches and highways through our Adopt-a-Latitude and Adopt-a-Shore programs. We donate all kinds of materials, from school supplies to holiday gifts, to children and others in need through our Lucky Stars program.

Remember the part about having a good time while giving back to the community? That’s the essence of “Party with a Purpose”! We make sure most social events are held with a deserving beneficiary, and likewise, no good deed goes without a party immediately following!

Social activities range from our monthly PHlockings held at The Porch-Winter Park in Winter Park. We gather on the SECOND THURSDAY of every month from 5PM to 9PM with LIVE Trop Rock MUSIC.   Our Last Supper PHridays are open to PHlockers and guests and held throughout the Greater Orlando area.  You can, also, often find us at PHlash PHlockings at RockPit (PHlockPit) Brewing & Distillery in SODO.  

Annual dues for Singles are $30 and $40 for PHamilies. You can join online in our CLUB STORE.  

We’d LOVE to add you to our list of PHaithful PHlockers!
