What Charitable Causes Does the Los Angeles Parrot Head Club Support?

The Los Angeles Parrot Head Club (LAPHC) centers its charitable work on the Walk to End Alzheimer's, an annual event the club participates in as a team. You can support the cause in two ways: walk with the LAPHC team in person, or donate to the team if you can't attend. The club frames this work as part of its broader identity — "Party with a Purpose" — which combines social events with fundraising.

The Club's Main Charity: Walk to End Alzheimer's

LAPHC organizes a team for the Walk to End Alzheimer's each year. According to the club's website, the LAPHC community comes together for this event because Alzheimer's and related conditions have affected countless families, including that of Jimmy Buffett — the musician whose music and spirit inspire the club.

The club describes the walk as a way to honor those who have been lost, support those still fighting the disease, and work toward a future without Alzheimer's.

How to Participate or Donate

There are two ways to get involved, and the club explicitly notes that attending in person isn't required:

• Join the walk: Show up at the Hermosa Beach Pier on the event date and walk with the LAPHC team.
• Donate instead: If you can't make it to the walk, the club says you can still support the cause by donating to the team. The site links to the LAPHC team page on the Alzheimer's Association fundraising platform (act.alz.org).

The donation link on the site points to a team page with a specific team ID, so donations made through it are credited to the LAPHC team.

Charity as Part of the Club's Identity

The Walk to End Alzheimer's isn't a standalone activity for LAPHC — it reflects the club's stated purpose. The site's tagline, "Party with a Purpose," and its self-description as "The Official Home of Flip-Flops, Friends & Fundraising" make fundraising and charitable support a core part of what the club does, alongside social events and gatherings.

The club also holds a post-walk lunch and board meeting at Tiki Kai (75 Pier Ave, Hermosa Beach) from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM on the same day, where members discuss the upcoming events calendar, including charity events. This shows how the club ties its social calendar directly to its charitable work.
