Sometimes, the most disparaging of times can yield a bright light. Such was the experience of Lee Rhodes, who found a unique sense of peace and serenity when she dropped a votive into a small blown glass bowl while she was battling lung cancer at 32.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lee Rhodes of glassybaby<\/em><\/p>\n

She decided she wanted to reach out and help others in her situation feel the same spark of hope. Over a decade later, Rhodes supports and connects with fellow cancer fighters with her Seattle-based company glassybaby<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cmission\u201d company, 8 to 10 percent of the company\u2019s revenue is donated to a multitude of charities and funds. In 2011, Rhodes was named Entrepreneur<\/a> of the year by Entrepreneur<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“No one can tell you what you’re going to need to get well,” says Rhodes, recalling her time spent recovering from chemotherapy. “This money is available for day to day needs — food, clothing, whatever — and there are no questions asked.”<\/p>\n

The single product with a conscious has had so much impact, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos approached Rhodes in 2008 with interest and now owns 20 percent of glassybaby.<\/p>\n

Nearly 70 local artists help create the colorful votives,\u00a0which sell for $44 each, and are popular in restaurants, as “an individual piece of art on each table,” Rhodes says. Additionally, she rents them out in large quantities for events. Glassybaby also has a version of its product for use as drinking glasses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
