The goal of the lollipop fundraiser is to raise $300 during the 2023 New Year holiday season. This money will be used to support Dr. Slyvia Earle's Mission Blue Hope Spots, an organization dedicated to protecting and preserving marine ecosystems around the world.

Faye's lollipops fundraiser has been generously sponsored by Deep Ocean Explore Store, Milk & Honey Cafe, and Customize Malatang.

Deep Ocean Explore Store, Alameda

One of my favorite places to visit is the dive shop where I interned last summer. Liz, I’m so grateful to you for opening your doors to host the lollipop fundraiser—it truly meant a lot to me. But more than that, your support as a board advisor for AquaMeridian US has been incredible.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a certified diver, now is the perfect time to visit Deep Ocean Explore Store. As the legendary Jacques Cousteau once said, 'The sea, with its spellbinding beauty, has the power to captivate and enchant those who dive into its depths, forever leaving its mark on the hearts and souls of those who dare to explore it.'"

Milk & Honey Cafe, Fremont

I’m so grateful to the team at Milk & Honey Cafe for helping me promote my lollipops and for placing the stand in such a great spot near the cashier. Their hot pot, braised pork bento, popcorn chicken, shrimp cake, and tender beef noodles are all amazing—I highly recommend stopping by for a meal! Plus, during the fundraiser, Milk & Honey Cafe will be donating 10% of all customer spending to Mission Blue. Huge thanks to them for supporting this important cause!

Customize MaLaTang, Fremont

A huge thank you to Customize Malatang for giving my lollipops a prime spot on their buffet counter! They even suggested adding colorful LED fairy lights to make the display stand out even more. Their support has been amazing, and I’m so grateful for their partnership in making this fundraiser a success!

Childhood Lollipops Stand

I've been making and selling homemade lollipops for a long time. At just 10 years old, I set up a stand in front of a local milk tea shop and raised $120 for Fremont animal shelter in one summer. These experiences have shown me that anyone, regardless of talent or experience, can make a difference.

My award winning lollipops

My lollipops have also been recognized for their creativity and artistic quality, winning Best of Class, Judge's Favorite, and a Special Award from OH Cake at the Alameda County Fair when I was in fifth grade.
