What Jaydie Foundation does

The Jaydie Lynn King Foundation (DBA: Team Jaydie) is a Phoenix, Arizona-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Federal Tax ID 03-0595939) founded in 2005 by Cami King after her daughter Jaydie Lynn King passed away from an inoperable brain tumor at age eight. The foundation funds and operates programs that provide comfort items, family assistance, and clinical program support for children with brain tumors, cancer, and other blood disorders treated at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Its program portfolio includes the Adopt-A-Family holiday gift program (serving 100+ families annually), the Stuffed Animal & Blanket Drive (distributing 600+ comfort items plus DVD players and movies), PCH Camp Rainbow (150+ campers), and annual Brain Tumor Awareness (Gray May) and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month campaigns.

The foundation's most significant institutional asset is the Jaydie Lynn King Neuro-Oncology Program at Phoenix Children's Hospital — Arizona's only comprehensive pediatric program for childhood brain and spinal cord tumors — operated in partnership with Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children's and the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The foundation has presented over $800,000 to Phoenix Children's and made a $1,000,000 commitment to develop neuro-oncology and outpatient services. It also funnels donations to the American Cancer Society ($50,000+), Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona ($135,000–$145,000), and the National Brain Tumor Society ($35,000+ raised via the annual Angel Adventure Walk).

The revenue model is charitable donations: tax-deductible contributions from individuals, businesses, and community groups, solicited through an online portal (teamjaydie.org/giving), direct mail, and signature events. To date, the foundation has cumulatively raised over $1.25 million toward a stated $2.1 million goal. Operations are 100% volunteer-run, with governance provided by a board including President Cami King, Jeffry King, and Jamie Basham. The foundation is classified as a 1–10 employee private nonprofit and operates exclusively within Arizona.
