Our Annual Parrot Head Fundraising Party for the Alzheimer Community Care of Palm Beach,
Martin & St. Lucie Counties will be September 25th... Alzheimers is a devastating disease that robs you of your recent memories ... the memory of new friends & new places. We wanted our party to be a good time with PHriends & ultimately be a LASTING Memory for those came to party with a purpose.
Memory Night seemed to be the perfect name for our Annual Parrot Head Fundraising Party for the Alzheimer Community Care of Palm Beach & Martin County.
We picked Alzheimer's as our recipient of our big fundraising party because it is a charity near & dear to Jimmy's heart .... His dad was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 1995. Seeing his father fall to this disease inspired Jimmy to write a song about his dad & Alzheimers. The song is called False
Echoes & is on his Banana Wind CD. The club was formed in 1996 & the Parrot head ties that binds us, pulled at the heart strings of the founding members of the club ... for it could be our fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, PHriends or even ourselves that could develop Alzheimer's. The National Alzheimer's organization is hard at work trying to find a cure but what about those who have it now ... like Jimmy's dad or your dad or mine? We then decided to pick the Alzheimer's Community Care of Palm Beach, Martin and St Lucie Counties because it is a local charity ... All the money we raise after expenses stays here locally to help fund the 3 counties 11 Day Care Centers. That's why we are the Parrot Heads FOR the Palm Beaches - And in September of 1996, Memory Night was hatched!
