Funko Pops!

15 Oct: More than a toy: Donation keeps employee’s memory alive

After Abdallah Moukhtar died last September, his family needed to figure out what to do with his collection of Funko Pops! — all 1,100 of them.

So, his mom, Suzy Blakely Duhme, found an organization called Pops for Patients that donates Funko products to children’s hospitals. And when Rob Zeida, who started the local chapter, came to pick up the donation, they realized there was a deeper connection. Rob works at Best Buy — just like Abdallah had.

“If you’re working for Best Buy, you’re the person I was supposed to give these to,” Suzy told Rob.
