Haiti Relief: Largest Candle Fundraiser Ever for children in Haiti

Last Friday was the largest candle fundraiser ever kick off in an effort to provide relief to the victims of the recent earthquake that devastated the island nation of Haiti. All across North America, Gold Canyon Demonstrators and customers are partnering with Save the Children to help. Starting February 12, 55% of the sales from fundraising candles purchased from a Demonstrator's personal website will be donated to Save the Children.

Gold Canyon's Goal

Co-Founder Karen Waisath shared the commitment to raise at least $100,000 for this noble cause, sharing, "With all of us working together, I know we will definitely make a difference!" Because helping children in need is a cause near and dear not only to Curt's and Karen's hearts, but to those of all the home office Coworkers and our caring Demonstrators, we know that together, we can truly make an impact and bring relief to those who are hurting most.

So just how big of a difference can our Gold Canyon family make? Look how easy it will be for Gold Canyon Demonstrators to truly make a difference:

·Approximately 8,000 Demonstrators have a personal website.

·The average donation per candle will be $10.08 (based on average price of the three candle sizes).

·If each Demonstrator with a personal website sells just three fundraiser candles, based on the averages, our donation would be $241,920!

There is no doubt that we can not only achieve, but exceed our goal. So far, with my hosted parties and personal sales we have raised $21.00, this doesn't seem like much but ever little bit counts! We are on our way. Let's see just how big the largest candle fundraiser can be!

Thank you for participating in this great cause - Together We Are Making a Difference.

For those not familiar with Gold Canyon Candles, they are based in Chandler, Arizona. They have donated over $1.7 million dollars to aid children throughout the world who are in need. Co-founder Karen Waisath developed the Candles For Kids line, which consists of four amazing scents. She felt her business had been blessed, and in return wanted to bless others in need. 100% of the profits from each and every candle from that special line goes directly to the Prayer Child Foundation. To assist seriously ill children, and their families across the United States/Canada.

NEW GOLD CANYON WEBSITES!!

Check out my NEWLY ENHANCED Gold Canyon WEBSITE and do some shopping while you are there!! Each 26oz Heritage Candle is an INSTANT WINNER!!!

Top 10 Reasons to Buy Gold Canyon Candles!

1. Incredible Fragrance and Outstanding Quality! - You will not find a stronger scented candle on the market today. Our candles are packed with as much aromatic fragrance as possible to give you a burning experience unlike any other!

2. Lead-free Double Wicks - In any Gold Canyon Candle larger than a 5oz, you will find double wicks. This allows your candle to liquefy and burn evenly the whole way across the top. No more pushing unburned wax down from the side of the jars!

3. 100% Fragrance!! - This means that our candles are as fragrant at the bottom as they are at the top. Every inch of our candle wax is fragranced.

4. Cool Burning Wax - If you are concerned about burning candles with small children around, don't be. Gold Canyon Candles contain cool wax which, if spilled on skin, will be warm but will not burn.

5. Safety Wicks - Each Gold Canyon Candle comes with safety wicks. This means that when there is about 1/2" of wax left in the candle, the wick will not light or will extinguish if burning. An extra ounce of wax is poured into each candle to accommodate this feature.

6. 100% Edible - Edible??!! Yes, if your small child happened to decide to munch on a candle, the wax is 100% edible and non-toxic.

7. Outstanding Selection - During any given season, Gold Canyon features over 90 different fragrances in. Our wide array of fragrances and types of candles ensures that everyone is able to find the perfect fragrance!

8. Great Price - Great quality does not always have to come with a high price tag. You will find the highest quality candle at the lowest possible prices!

9. Prayer Child Program - A portion of EVERY purchase goes directly to children in need through our Prayer Child program. It's our chance to give something back to the community and we take great pride in our service to those in need.

10. Outstanding Quality - Gold Canyon Candles was founded with the goal of creating "The World's Finest" candle. Today, we continue to meet this goal.

Why Gold Canyon candles are different from others...

I get this question on a daily basis. How are Gold Canyon Candles different, or even better? Well here is just one of the many reasons;

Gold Canyon’s proprietary recipe combines the highest quality waxes along with the perfect combination of fragrances and additives. This combination is what makes Gold Canyon’s candles the most aromatic candles available on the market today…guaranteed!

Customers and Party guests alike will appreciate that Gold Canyon candles are manufactured in the U.S.A. with only the finest raw materials.

Additionally, our final products are not tested on animals.

The following elements complete a Gold Canyon candle.

Fragrance
Fragrances are made of both natural and synthetic oils. Gold Canyon uses only the highest quality blend of both these oils in creating the finest fragrances. Gold Canyon’s fragrance quality can be attributed to the number of notes found in the fragrance. Notes are a group of specific aromas that create a fragrance. High-quality fragrances always incorporate three important and distinct note characteristics and because Gold Canyon maintains the highest standards, it only
uses superior fragrances in its products. The following information breaks down what each note represents in a fragrance.

Top Notes
Top notes provide the first burst of fragrance one initially experiences when smelling a candle. The molecules in this layer move rapidly, making the fragrance volatile and quick to dissipate.

Middle Notes
This layer holds the heart of the fragrance.

Bottom Notes
As the heartiest of all, the bottom notes compose the aroma that lingers even after the candle has been extinguished. The molecules in this note move slowly, deterring the fragrance from dissipating quickly.

Wax
Gold Canyon uses different high quality waxes based on the needs of our different candle lines. We use both food-grade paraffin wax as well as natural vegetable wax.

Food-Grade Paraffin Wax
Used in the majority of Gold Canyon’s candle products, paraffin comes from companies that manufacture food-grade paraffin as a primary product and from refineries as a by-product. Both resources provide varying degrees of quality.

Natural Vegetable Wax
Vegetable wax is a renewable resource made with all natural ingredients that provide a clean, even burn.
