WCC is proud to include The Luminaria Project which strives to leave a legacy on each of the cities hosting the WCC by offering the strength and generosity that radiates from the international candle community. As part of this year’s initiative to make a lasting difference, we are amplifying our efforts to collect as many donations as possible, individually and by companies, all united for this philanthropic cause.

A ceremony to present donations and honor the Youth Empowerment Project will be held the evening of Tuesday, May 17.  This year, $10 of each World Candle Congress registration will go towards supporting this unbelievable organization.
