Atlanta, GA – The Flannel Bear is thrilled to announce the launch of the Pride 365 candle, with proceeds benefiting Q+ Equality Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. This unique collaboration aims to celebrate and support the Q+ community every day of the year, not just during Pride Month.

The Pride 365 candle is a symbol of continuous pride, resilience, and love. Scented with a blend of exotic woods and citrus, this candle is designed to remind every member of the Q+ community to embrace their identity and shine brightly 365 days a year. The Flannel Bear, renowned for its handcrafted and high-quality products, has created a candle that not only smells wonderful but also carries a powerful message of inclusivity and acceptance.

“We are thrilled The Flannel Bear has chosen our organization to be a benefactor of the Pride 365 candle,” said Thomas Ryan-Lawrence, Executive Director of Q+ Equality Foundation. “Our Q+ identities are a part of us every single day, not just thirty days a year. We constantly show up as Q+ employees, Q+ consumers, Q+ family members, and Q+ friends. The Pride 365 candle embodies this spirit, serving as a daily reminder to live authentically and proudly, wherever we are.”

The launch of the Pride 365 candle comes at a crucial time when Q+ people continue to face challenges and adversity. “Even today, less than half of Q+ employees are fully out in the workplace, and those entering the workforce have a difficult time finding Q+ mentors”, said Ryan-Lawrence. With this launch, The Flannel Bear aims to foster a sense of belonging and community, while also working to advance Q+ equality in the workplace.

“We believe in the power of small acts to create significant impact,” said Frederick Gransee, Founder of The Flannel Bear. “We’re not just another candle company. We’re a candle company that is committed to giving back to organizations that enrich communities and make the world a better place. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Q+ Equality Foundation!” Gransee concluded with, “We have a goal of selling 1,000 units of the Pride 365 candle between now and August 31st, thereby allowing us to make a significant and lasting financial impact to Q+ Equality Foundation”.

The Pride 365 candle is now available for purchase online at theflannelbear.com. Each 22-ounce candle is hand crafted to provide a delightful fragrance experience with a burn time of over 120 hours. This amazing candle is perfect for your office, home, or any special space; it also makes a thoughtful gift for allies and supporters of the Q+ community. Join us in spreading the light of pride every day. Support Q+ Equality Foundation with a candle purchase today!
