SUPPORTING THE TRUE UNDERDOGS
WE BELIEVE PRIDE MONTH
SHOULD BE EVERY MONTH.
Lauren started Underdog after a years-long battle with her own sexuality. Through her personal coming out journey, she saw how far we still have to go as a society in accepting and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Crafting candles that celebrate everyday underdogs was both a creative outlet and a way to connect with and support her community.
Underdog began as a line of pride-themed candles, launched during pride month in order to raise money for the LGBTQ+ Freedom Fund.
But we believe that pride month should be every month, so we're proud to extend our original mission into a long-term promise:
We'll donate 5% of proceeds from all website purchases to organizations that support LGBTIQ+ causes, forever.
