Parrot Heads helping Parrot Heads
Last year during Meeting of the Minds in Key West, Parrot Heads had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the Lone Palm Foundation partnered with Sidney Strong and the Singing for Change Charitable Foundation. Strong was Jimmy Buffett’s scenographer for building concert backdrops featured at concerts. At MOTM, we auctioned six original watercolor paintings of some of those concert […]
With 100 mile-per-hour winds and seven-foot storm surges, Hurricane Dorian made landfall over Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Friday, September 6.

Lone Palm Foundation has partnered with Sidney Strong and the SFC Charitable Foundation to offer Parrot Heads a chance at exclusive, one-of-a-kind watercolor paintings based on the unique backdrops developed for Jimmy Buffett’s tours by his scenographer, Sidney Strong.

As we come up to Meeting of the Minds in the next couple weeks, and we reflect on the damage we’ve seen from Hurricane Mathew, it’s good to know the Lone Palm Foundation is here to help Parrot Heads who need financial assistance after suffering losses caused by a natural disaster. But, we can’t help […]
Funding for Lone Palm Foundation comes from several sources. You know about the NOLA Margaritaville sale we just had. Now we’ll talk about two others here. The first is from the revived Live Auction at Meeting of The Minds (MOTM), Parrot Heads in Paradise’s (PHiP) annual convention in Key West (it’s coming up fast!). Held on Saturday […]
The Coconut Telegraph was out in full force advertising our one-day auction on July 30, 2016 of items donated from the Margaritaville New Orleans and It really caught fire when JD Spradlin of Radio Margaritaville promoted it. Thanks, JD! And, wow, just, wow! We had an amazing response to the auction. So many people participated […]
Most Parrot Heads were saddened last year when it was announced the iconic Margaritaville New Orleans Restaurant was closing its doors. Although it was a bittersweet goodbye, there’s a silver lining within this story. The nice folks at Margaritaville contacted us and offered to donate several items that were used within the restaurant. We jumped […]
We all know there’s no reasoning with hurricane season. Or earthquakes, tornados, wildfires, flash floods or mudslides. There may be no reason, but there is help. When disaster strikes, Parrot Heads are there to help friends and strangers alike. When disaster strikes Parrot Heads, the Lone Palm Foundation is there to help them. Lone Palm […]
