LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 20, 2025) — DanceBlue is proud to announce an exciting collaboration with Scripted Fragrance, a leading artisan candle company known for its expertly crafted candles in reusable drinking glasses. Together, they have created a custom limited-edition candle, with 35% of the proceeds being donated to DanceBlue’s mission.
The partnership aims to bring light and hope to the fight against pediatric cancer while offering supporters a meaningful way to contribute to DanceBlue’s impactful work.

A sustainable candle with a purpose

When the candle is finished, it transforms into a food-grade rocks glass featuring the DanceBlue logo making a treasured keepsake for recipients.
“We are honored to partner with DanceBlue to share this special keepsake for the 20th anniversary,” said Amberlee Isabella, co-founder of Scripted Fragrance and 2007 graduate of the University of Kentucky’s College of Design. “I’m proud to have been a founding member of DanceBlue and to have served as the Overall Chair in 2007.
