Phyllis Eig
After thirty-five years and hundreds of events...
Phyllis Eig was born in Lakewood, New Jersey and grew up in Washington, D.C., in a hotel, restaurant, and catering family. As a student at Howard University, she earned an associate’s degree in dental hygiene and met her future husband, Dr. Lawrence Eig.
While Phyllis was still a student and Dr. Eig was stationed in Japan, the couple was married via the first ever Trans-Pacific conference call, resulting in news coverage of the event across the U.S. Phyllis later joined her husband in Japan, where they lived for three years.
After moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, she worked in her husband’s dental practice for several years before deciding to go into business doing what she loved—helping others plan events.
She opened Festive Occasions, a boutique specializing in personalized gifts and party accessories, along with invitations for all kinds of events. From that evolved Phyllis Eig Associates, formed to specialize in unique weddings and special events for clients.
With all of this, both she and her husband always had the desire to give back to the community that was so good to them. The many organizations Phyllis gave her time to, whether serving on or chairing committees, included Congregation B’Nai Israel, Temple Beth El, the Pinellas Association for Retarded Children (PARC), and Brookwood Florida, Inc.
Phyllis shares her fundraising event tips, tricks and SECRETS with YOU!
Phyllis is a graduate of Leadership St. Pete and has also served on various political campaigns, both local and statewide. She has two children, Janet and Jeffrey, and two grandchildren, Max and Sam.
She moved to Panama in the spring of 2012, intending to retire completely. But she hasn’t really been able to do that as she manages to get involved with groups and charities she feels are important. Otherwise, Phyllis has taken to writing and enjoying the beach life in that great country.

A FUN read—I couldn’t put it down, read it in one sitting. I can see this little gem becoming a pocket reference used to inspire what will be the most exceptional FUNdraisers of the future.
A good, concise template for a fundraising event, or for directing any volunteer organization. I have used many of these ideas as the leader of the Dallas Bailliage of the Chaine des Rotisseurs.

I loved How to Put the FUN in Fundraising by Phyllis Eig. It is a fast, entertaining, and easy-to-understand read. Leaving no stone unturned, Ms. Eig uses her authentic, no-nonsense voice to disclose the secrets to a successful fundraising event. Both pros and amateurs alike will learn from the author’s shared experiences and creative mindset. The book is compact and allows you to transport the author, as if she is your own personal cheerleader. This is not a book you will want to loan out. No matter how much you respect books, you are likely to highlight, underline and dog-ear many pages.
Uniquely informative and fun to read, Phyllis puts her personal style, sense of humor and years of experience into this quick clear and very useful book. No longer does fund raising need to be the daunting challenge of the past.
