Nearly 20,000 children live in foster care in Arizona, the organization says. The foundation works with the Department of Child Safety by supporting Children’s Heart Gallery photo shoots and creation of galleries for children whose biological ties have been severed from their families, Eegee’s said in a news release.

The foundation’s goal is to one day have more foster families waiting for children than children waiting for families.

The Johnjay & Rich syndicated morning show airs in Tucson on KRQ (93.7-FM).
