Koko’s Candles is owned and operated by Janeen Kokodynski in Scottsdale, Arizona. After losing her one month old son Matthew to a congenital heart defect in 2005, Janeen worked tirelessly with The Children’s Heart foundation to fundraise while also creating awareness. In 2017, she combined her love of candle making with her commitment to this nonprofit and Koko’s Candles was born. A portion of the profits from each candle is donated to The Children's Heart Foundation.
