christy eichers

President Founder

Christy Eichers has a passion for connecting people and giving back — regreet marries these two aspects of her life. At an early age, Christy started getting people involved – in neighborhood shows, 4-H projects, fundraisers, and social activities — she was a bit of a “ring leader.” In 2009 she took a leap and left corporate America to start her regreet adventure.

In 2007, Christy authored and self-published “Mixing Up Memories,” a collection of family recipes that raised nearly $30,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and whetted her entrepreneurial appetite. After conceiving of regreet while looking through a pile of her father’s birthday cards, Christy took the big “hop” and left the Medtronic Community Affairs team to bring regreet to market. In 2011, excited by the thought of how to connect the regreet adventure with kids’ natural curiosity, she authored her first children’s book Catch & Release: A Fezzy Wog Adventure and released her frogs out into the world. Providing the brains, guts and heart behind regreet is now Christy’s full-time job.
