Mission / History
Our Story
Achieving a dream takes courage, humility and passion, which are considered to be the true original ingredients behind Curt and Karen Waisath's dream in launching Gold Canyon®. It began in the Waisaths' kitchen, where Karen began developing a candle that would permeate her home with a rich fragrance and ambience.
Late in 1997, they developed the perfect candle creation that quickly found a loyal and passionate following. Karen not only created the candle she was seeking through her passionate intuition and innovation, she also found a way to have a career that would allow her to be at home with her children. Soon they discovered people not only loved their richly fragrant candle, but also the opportunity that came with it—the flexibility of a home-based business selling a quality product they could believe in. One year later, Gold Canyon grew from one candle to over 26 fragrances in four different sizes.
Today, thousands have fulfilled their own dreams thanks to the opportunity founded by Curt and Karen. The formula for success is the same as it was in the beginning. A formula that includes the dynamic and passionate community of Consultants, the expert Coworkers that have become masters of their craft and the hundreds of distinct fragrances and products that remain the soul and spirit of Gold Canyon. Each fragrance is still carefully approved by Karen today to ensure Gold Canyon delivers on its brand promise as "The World's Finest"®. The mission of Gold Canyon continues to move forward and will always remain focused on family, charity, community and friendship.
Great products ... great opportunities ... all realized through the courage, humility and passion of a dream—truly the essence of living well™.

Prayer Child Foundation
Our CommitmentWe commit to the principle of "giving something back"...the notion that a truly responsible company should share its success with those less fortunate. That is why Candles for Kids is so important to us. We are committed to giving back to communities all over the world with a specific focus on children in need.
The Prayer Child Foundation's History and Mission
Because we are committed to giving back, our charity of choice is the Prayer Child Foundation. With the assistance of our Consultants and customers just like you, the Prayer Child Foundation has grown to a sizable organization with the power to enhance children's lives every day. The foundation provides financial support to many national children's charities, individuals and organizations within local communities like yours.
Hundreds of thousands of children and their parents pray for help every day. The mission of the Prayer Child Foundation is to assist in answering their prayers by helping these children experience the joys of childhood. We carry forward our mission with the desire to provide hope and a positive future for children in need.
Bringing Hope, One Candle at a Time
The Candles for Kids candles have been carefully designed using soft white wax poured into a beautiful glass, which represents the innocence and purity of the precious, deserving children for which the Prayer Child Foundation was built.
The Prayer Child Foundation's mission to help children in need is near and dear to the heart of our company. Because of this, the Candles for Kids label features a heart surrounded by dainty flourishes, adorable polka dots and childlike lettering. The sweet label design is intended to capture the fun-loving spirit of children and the hope the Prayer Child Foundation brings by making a difference for those who truly need it most!
Candles for Kids
With the purchase of each Candles for Kids candle, 100% of the profits go to the Prayer Child Foundation.
In addition to proceeds from the Candles for Kids candles, a portion of all Gold Canyon's annual sales go to various children's charities. Every hand painted candle label features a hidden child kneeling in prayer, which represents our commitment to helping children. Each of your candle purchases has a hand in answering prayers from around the world.
The Prayer Child Foundation's core purpose is "to make a difference in the lives of children with physical and emotional challenges by providing financial support, opportunity for involvement to help others and a hope for a positive future." Each Candles for Kids purchase enables us to take another step toward achieving this core purpose. Together, we are making a difference!
