TumTum Tree Foundation

The TumTum Tree Foundation is a non-profit organization that holds an annual wine auction to raise funds for a variety of children's charities in Alabama. It was founded in 1990 based on the success of Auction Napa Valley in California. The foundation focuses on impacting the lives of children with serious medical conditions. In addition to its annual auction, the group hosts private "Vintner Dinners", wine tastings, football tailgates and other events throughout the year.

The group incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit named Friends of Magic City Children in 2000. It adopted its present name, inspired by Lewis Carroll's 1871 poem "Jabberwocky", in 2005. Ashley Blomeyer is the executive director. As of 2023 the organization had raised more than $17.8 million.
