Our Charities

Inpsired by the example set by Jimmy over his career of giving back to the community around him and helping out many great causes, as well as the mission of Parrot Heads in Paradise, the Parrot Heads of the Savannah River engage in a large number of charitable, humanitarian, and animal welfare activities!
