Country Lights Fundraisers
Welcome to Country Lights Soy Candles fundraising program. We pride ourselves in having high-quality products and great customer service. We are here to help you reach your fundraising goals.
About Us
Brad and Joyce began making candles as a hobby in 1999. At first, the candles were a soy/petroleum mix. After some experimenting, they were happy to go to a 100% soy candle. It didn't take long to realize that soy candles would become very popular. A local church youth program asked to use their candles for a fundraiser. That's when it all started to take off.
​
They now sell tens of thousands of candles each year through numerous schools, FFA organizations, church groups, marathoners, and philanthropists throughout the United States. Their fundraiser is simple, efficient, effective, and profitable.
Country Lights Soy Candles, Ltd. is a family owned and operated soy candle business. Their workshop is located on the Riskedal Family's Centennial Farm in North Central Illinois. All candles are made using U.S. grown soybeans and are hand poured by family members.
