What began in 2010 as one scented candle designed to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Autism Speaks and raise awareness and funds for autism research, Blue Garden has since blossomed into a complete collection of six home fragrance products available for purchase year-round, including a new http://www..bloomingdales.com/shop/product/nest-fragrances-blue-garden-3-wick-candle?ID=1658818&CategoryID=3865&linkModule=1#fn=spp%3D49 [Three-Wick Candle __title__ ] and http://www..bloomingdales.com/shop/product/nest-fragrances-blue-garden-votive-candle?ID=1658817&CategoryID=3865&linkModule=1#fn=spp%3D18 [Votive Candle __title__ ] debuting this month.
“I have always said that everything I do to support the field of autism is done in honor of my son David who was diagnosed with autism 15 years ago at 17-months-old, and that has not changed,” said Laura Slatkin, Founder and Executive Chairman of NEST Fragrances and member of the Board of Directors of Autism Speaks. “We have made significant progress in the field of autism since 2001 but David remains severely impaired, and there is still much more to be accomplished. By expanding the charitable component from one candle to the entire Blue Garden Collection, we will be able to contribute much more to our quest to better understand autism and find answers.”
NEST Fragrances has raised more than $241,000 for Autism Speaks by donating 10-percent of the retail price of each http://www..bloomingdales.com/shop/product/nest-fragrances-blue-garden-classic-candle?ID=512364&CategoryID=3865&linkModule=1#fn=spp%3D70 [Blue Garden Classic Candle __title__ ] sold since its debut in February 2010 through December 31, 2015.
“Who knew one candle could make such a big difference,” said Peter Morton, Vice President of Corporate Development at Autism Speaks. “With this expanded partnership, we are excited about the possibilities to increase awareness and raise funds towards Autism Speaks’ mission.”
