The Patriot Candle: Inspired by Jill Wagner (benefitting SOWF)

In collaboration with celebrity Jill Wagner, we are honored to bring you "The Patriot Candle." Family Tree Candle Company prides itself on giving back to worthy causes and partnering with those who have missions near and dear to them. 

Over the years, Jill Wagner has been featured in an array of popular Hallmark Movies, was cast as the host of the game show, Wipeout (2008-2011) and currently co-stars in Special Ops: Lioness alongside Nicole Kidman, and Zoe Saldana. Before these roles, she also starred in the MTV series Teen Wolf as Kate Argent. She currently has a multi-picture deal with GAC to produce and star in upcoming films. During her committed schedule, Jill still finds time to honor veterans and military within the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. 

Jill and her husband acquired the Scott Mansion in the hills of Tennessee a few years ago where their vineyards produced vast grape crops. They had a desire to give back and along the way, created the idea for the "The Patriotic Pick," where guests can visit the farm, pick grapes, and give back to Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF). This organizations helps the families, especially the children of fallen soldiers with a "cradle to career" initiative. With both Jill's father and husband being involved in the  military, this was an obvious fit for her.

This special candle also helps to "share the light" and give back, with an exclusive blend chosen by Jill herself. She wanted something to remind her of "pancakes over a bonfire" reminiscent of her childhood when her father, a veteran, would cook tasty flapjacks over hot coals. We think this candle is perfect for the cozy fall months ahead. 40% of every candle goes back to SOWF. Each candle is beautifully packaged with a stamped linen bag and cork lid along with a personal message from Jill. 

In her off time, Jill enjoys spending time with her family and planning the next "Patriotic Pick"!
