Umbra Essence Candles and Gifts announces the launch of a new product to add to their successful brand of handcrafted candles. The Umbra Essence Light of Hope Candle for Susan G. Komen For The Cure® is a custom blend of lavender and vanilla and has been hand-colored a delicate pink by Umbra Essence Candles’ owner and candle maker, Jamie Mosey. “Breast cancer touches so many lives today and I am no exception. I deeply understand what families go through and why awareness and research are so important.” The Light Of Hope Candle pledges to donate 20% of the retail sales of this candle to the Chattanooga Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure®. The new Light of Hope Candles are available in three popular sizes, 3”x3.5”, 3” x4.5”, and 3” x 6.5” round pillars, and available exclusively at the Umbra Essence Candles and Gifts store in St. Elmo beginning on National Philanthropy Day, Wednesday, November 4, 2009.
Up to 75 % of the funds raised by the Chattanooga Komen Affiliate remain in the community to fund local breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs. “It was important to me to be able to have a local impact and have a way to help the families in my own community,” Mosey said. Sarah Bowman, President of the Chattanooga Affiliate, agrees, “A candle perfectly symbolizes the efforts of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Affiliates around the world. The work we do together represents hope, love and strength to millions of survivors and their loved ones."
Umbra has created a lavender scent for the Light of Hope candle specifically for its versatile qualities. “Lavender is so much more than simply a fragrance. It can have both a calming and uplifting effect. Relaxing the body and mind during the healing process is so important. We added a touch of vanilla for sweetness and believe we have a perfect blend for this special edition candle,“ says Mosey.
