Door County Candle Company owner Christiana Trapani has made Candles Creating Change™ part of the core of her business, raising over 1 million dollars of impact since beginning in early 2022.

During our November keynote Christiana will be sharing her story: why she decided to begin offering candles to raise funds for Ukraine and later additional efforts, how she was able to engage Door County Candle Company's audience and community to create such a successful effort, and experience a bit of virality that led to being seen on national platforms, and ultimately how it has impacted Door County Candle Company today.

About Our Keynote Speaker:

Door County Candle Company is located in picturesque Door County, Wisconsin! Founded in 1993 by Mike and his late wife Nancy, Door County Candle has been a tradition for generations of families for over 25 years. In 2021, Christiana, a Door County native, took over as owner of the candle company. 

With a heart dedicated to philanthropy and giving back, Christiana's philanthropic journey began with a single candle: the Ukraine Candle. Inspired by her experiences and a desire to make a difference, she embarked on a mission to create change through candles.

Now, with Candles Creating Change, every scented wax product from Door County Candle Company carries the torch of philanthropy, spreading warmth, hope, and making a positive impact.
