A Legacy of Giving Back
More Than a Business — A Family Tradition
Giving back has been part of my family's story for nearly 50 years.
Following Elvis Presley’s passing in 1977, my parents, Kay and Paul Lipps, were two of the four founders of the TCP Memorial Benefit Committee. From the beginning, its purpose was about more than remembering Elvis—it was about bringing fans together and helping others in his name.
That mission continued through years of charitable activities and Elvis-related events, eventually leading to the annual Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest tradition beginning in 1993.
For more than three decades, the festival's primary charitable relationship was with Special Olympics in Porter County, Indiana. Together with generations of volunteers, performers, fans, sponsors, and supporters, that relationship helped generate more than $500,000 in charitable impact.
When my father passed away in 2014, continuing what my family had helped build became deeply personal to me.
As I was building PMG Group Inc., I ultimately assumed responsibility for producing the Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest and helping carry the larger TCP mission forward. What began as preserving my family's legacy became an important part of PMG Group's own commitment to service, stewardship, community, and giving back.
A New Chapter
Today, that mission is growing.
The TCP Memorial Benefit FAN Club™ is entering its next chapter as a year-round, mission-driven organization focused on charitable giving, memorial benefits, fan community, historical preservation, and carrying forward Elvis Presley's legacy of generosity.
After more than three decades in Northwest Indiana, the Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest is also preparing for a new chapter in the Indianapolis area.
Our charitable relationships may evolve. The organizations we work with may change. And the ways we give back will continue to grow.
But the purpose that began in 1977 remains:
FANs Giving Back in Honor of Elvis.
PMG Group Inc. is proud to provide the business, event-production, and organizational foundation that helps make that mission possible.
