The world’s richest entertainer Jimmy Buffet has asked his dedicated fans “The Parrotheads” to give a new aspect to their famous Pre-concert tailgate parties. Jimmy has given the option to make money for charity work of their choice. A group of fans of Buffet are sponsoring a charity program called Frisco Feeding Frenzy. They also have plans to donate money to the National Breast Cancer foundation. The Ozarka plant had donated 1,000 bottles of water to be sold to the Jimmy fans attending the tailgate party on 26th April and the income generated will be given to a man from Winnsboro, who is a victim of lung cancer, for his medical expenses.
Bill Ansel, the parrotheads official tailgate planner announced that all the proceeds of the party will be given to Dana from Winnsboro. Bill has made the tailgating one of the highlights of the Jimmy concerts. The 2007 Tailgate party was attended by 675 people and $2,300 was generated. A major portion was given to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society also received some help from the Parrotheads in the name of Michael French, the Jimmy fan, who was diagnosed with leukemia at the tender age of 8years.
