The ERC is again holding our semi-annual Yankee Candle Fundraiser, now through September 5, 2008.  Please visit our site for a catalog and order form:

We appreciate your support!  As you are aware, the ERC is the only truly free Endometriosis organization in the world, supported solely through fundraising efforts and the donations of those who share our mission of improving the lives of all those with the disease.

 

The Yankee Candle Company has a long and proud tradition of corporate citizenship in supporting specific organizations and focused areas of charitable giving, primarily in the areas of health, education, social services and public safety.  We have worked with the company for years on this fundraising event.

 

There has been some concern over potential pollutants in certain candles.  While the ERC does not endorse or recommend any products, we feel it is important to inform our fundraiser participants that the Yankee Candle Company has been producing its scented candles following stringent specifications since 1969. Every Yankee Candle is made here in the USA, using exclusive fragrance oils and only the highest quality materials: pure cotton wicks, fine glassware, and premium-grade, highly refined paraffin waxes specially blended for optimum burning and fragrancing performance. There is absolutely no lead in Yankees wicks; in fact, Yankee is a signing member of the United States Consumer Products Safety Commissions no-lead wick pledge.

 

Yankee Candle is proud to use only the finest quality ingredients and materials in their candles; however, it is still important that you use your candles responsibly to ensure their safe use. Please follow the guidelines found at http://endocenter.org/yankeecandle.htm to keep your candles as a bright and beautiful part of your life.  Thank you.

 

We appreciate your help and support!

 

Fondly,

ERC Team

Do we have another one of these coming up soon?
