The fundraiser aims to raise $100,000 in one day, moving Jamie Kay’s six‑year total closer to $1 million for Child Cancer Foundation.

# What happened

# Why Jamie Kay is running this campaign Jamie Kay began fundraising for Child Cancer Foundation in 2020. Over six years the brand's community has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through annual events tied to product sales. The company says the fundraiser has become one of its most meaningful annual initiatives and that customer generosity has driven its growth.

# What the money will fund Child Cancer Foundation provides personalised, one‑to‑one support to every child with cancer and their whānau across Aotearoa. The charity supports more than 1,700 families each year and receives no direct government funding. Over the past year the foundation's family support spending increased by 56%, including:

  • a 107% increase in support for household bills,
  • a 52% increase in food support,
  • a 49% increase in fuel support.

# The products and pricing

  • Organic Cotton Jaida Pyjama Singlet Set — Mon Amour Blue, $29.99, sizes 6–12 months to 14 years.
  • Organic Cotton Baker Short Sleeve Pyjama Set — Savannah Animals Tofu, $29.99, sizes 6–12 months to 10 years.

Monica Briggs, CEO of Child Cancer Foundation, framed the fundraiser in human terms, noting weekly cancer diagnoses and the sudden impact on families. Jamie Kay's chief of sales and marketing, Steve Ramsay, described the campaign as an initiative the community now expects each year and thanked customers for their generosity.

# How to participate Purchases of the three selected items on the Jamie Kay website during the campaign window will direct 100% of revenue to Child Cancer Foundation. The campaign launches during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and is exclusive to Jamie Kay's online store.

# Bottom line The campaign uses a short, product‑driven appeal to convert a loyal customer base into concentrated support for families facing childhood cancer. Given the charity's lack of direct government funding and recent increases in demand for basic financial supports, the funds raised will pay for both immediate essentials and longer‑term family services.
