Our Cause
In Hawaii and around the world, the ocean is being poisoned at an alarming rate with tons of litter and trash. Not only is the ocean a treasured part of Hawaii’s culture, we depend on its sea life and the harmonious balance it exists in. With pollution threatening this delicate ecosystem, now is the time to act and support organizations committed to this mission-critical effort.
About
Founded by Stephanie Hung, Artists Save Waves is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and is supported by our sister company, Artists with Aloha, LLC. Both organizations were founded in 2019 and born of Stephanie’s’ vision to use her art to inspire, educate and raise awareness about our environment while raising funds to clean up our oceans and protect the earth.
Stephanie is currently a student at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii and preparing for college. She manages the 2 businesses in her spare time and supports the cause by using her personal works of art to generate funds which, in turn, provides funding to organizations actively engaged in cleaning and maintaining our oceans and beaches. Thanks to community partnerships there are now efforts to execute on the mission and vision to a larger scale, further recognizing the value of Stephanie’s’ artwork and the dedication she has to the community, the ocean and beyond. The business model is fluid and allows for additional partnerships to be created that embrace the organizations’ mission and vision.
