Cruising for Change
QUIETLY MAKING NOISE ON THE HIGH SEAS
Every sailing of the International Parrothead Day Cruise supports Singing for Change, a foundation built on the belief that doing good doesn't require a spotlight. We raise funds through our onboard Silent Auction and donate directly to a charity that puts money back into communities at the grassroots level through grant applications.
Why Singing for Change?
Singing for Change was founded on a simple idea: $1 from every Jimmy Buffett concert ticket goes to fund community grants. No big fundraising galas. No self-promotion. Just quietly making noise. Their staff of one reached out when our donation arrived because it was larger than what they typically receive, a reminder of how much a passionate group of Parrotheads can accomplish.
"Have fun, make money, and leave the world a better place."Jimmy Buffett
Raising Phins & Phunds
Our onboard Silent Auction returns in 2027 with one-of-a-kind items, and every dollar raised supports Singing for Change. Featured items and details will be announced soon.
Quietly Making Noise
"Singing for Change does not fundraise. They are dependent upon the Parrothead Chapters and groups like us that just do this type of thing."Judith Ranger Smith, Singing for Change
"She just bought a T-shirt at the Atlanta CRB concert that has Singing for Change on the front and Quietly Making Noise on the back. The spirit is alive and well."Sherri, Parrothead & Cruising for Change Supporter
Growing the Giving
Pre-Cruise Bidding
We're working toward opening the Silent Auction to all Parrotheads, even those not sailing with us, so the whole community can participate and give back.
Cruising for Change Merch
Look for Cruising for Change branded koozies, luggage tags, and more featuring the official logo. Every purchase supports the cause.
Keep the Party Going
Singing for Change was built on the $1 per ticket concert model. We're hoping ZBB and future artists carry that torch forward. Stay tuned.
