Hey Parrothead Musicians: Do you have any old guitars collecting dust?
Guitars to Kids is a non-profit organization that collects and refurbishes used guitars and provides them free-of-charge to youth in the Simcoe Muskoka Region. The program provides youth with an opportunity for personal and cognitive development through learning music.
We accept the donation of all acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and bass guitars to the program, regardless of the age, size or condition of the instrument. Every guitar receives some TLC prior to being given a new home with a local youth.
While they are located north of the GTA, their volunteers will come to Toronto and the GTA to collect your guitar! Click GuitarsToKids to donate or for more info or email guitarstokids@gmail.com

We are the Toronto Maple Reefers ParrotHead Club, the 184th PHiP sanctioned official ParrotHead club in the world!
Founded in the fall of 2003, the Toronto Maple Reefers ParrotHead Club adopted the mandate of ParrotHead clubs worldwide: "party with a purpose".
Boasting over 180 active members, the club regularly holds social events to benefit local charities, primarily the Toronto Children's Breakfast Club. The TCBC provides thousands of breakfasts and lunches every year in the GTA to kids who would might no otherwise get a good start to the day.
Our members themselves are a diverse cross section of ages and occupations from mainly Southern & Central Ontario with one thing in common-a love of the tropical lifestyle embodied by Jimmy Buffett. We are collectively aware of our limited number of trips around the sun, and we are determined to squeeze as much phun in as possible, trying to leave it all a little better than we found it, playing as diligently as we work.
What we lack in latitude around here, we make up for in attitude! There’s something about being harboured in a place that sees tropical temperatures only three months a year that produces particularly enthusiastic Parrot Heads! Go phigure!
So grab a boat drink(s), make yourself comfortable, and take a look around our little piece of Margaritaville. There are lots of photos, drink recipes, links, stories that bear repeating, and tales from late last night. And, if you think you might be one of our lost phlock of northern parrots, please contact us about membership.
Founded in Fall 2003, we adopted the "party with a purpose" mandate of all Parrothead clubs. Our Club holds regular social events to benefit the environment & local charities, primarily Children's Breakfast Clubs. This non-profit believes that every child deserves a nutritious breakfast. They serve an estimated 4,000 meals each week across the Greater Toronto area.

We are Parrot Heads because…..
We love the ocean
We love the planet
We love to have fun.
We are Parrot Heads because…..
We are not afraid to be silly
We are not afraid to act foolish
We are not afraid of love.
We are Parrot Heads because…..
We like scantily clad members of our favorite sex
We like playing in the sun with those same members
We like singing songs that say all these things.
We are Parrot Heads because…..
We believe the best things in life cannot be bought
We believe sharing the best things makes them better
We believe in the innate goodness in all of us.
We are Parrot Heads because…..
We know shared joy is increased
We know shared pain is lessened
We know a good friend has value beyond measure.
It just so happens, that Jimmy Buffett sings about all these things
So we are not Parrot Heads because we are Jimmy Buffett fans,
We are Jimmy Buffett fans because we are Parrot Heads.
Thanks to the Cincinnati Parrothead Club
