Received this in an email from a friend yesterday who got it from her mom..
- “I just noticed that you joined “Caused for Drinks” on Facebook. Very admirable, but you should know that the Parrotheads have been “partying with a purpose” since the early 80’s. So don’t you gen next-ers think you made that up, ok? In the last five years, Parrotheads have donated over $10.5 Million and almost 1.8 Million Volunteer Hours. Not too shabby for a bunch of middle aged, overweight, midlife crisis bound concert go-ers.”
She’s right, Parrotheads, have raised millions of dollars! Check out the stats from the past couple of years…
In 2002: Over $1.4 Million and 360,000 Volunteer Hours
In 2003: Over $1.6 Million and 365,068 Volunteer Hours
In 2004: Over $2.2 Million and 404,690 Volunteer Hours
In 2005: Over $2.7 Million and 663,543 Volunteer Hours
In 2006: Over $2.6 Million and 173,000 Volunteer Hours
Five Year Total: Over $10.5 Million and almost 1.8 Million Volunteer Hours
Sky’s the limit. I think we can catch up to them next year…
