The two Dubbo Leadership Academy students run local business Dubbo Soy Candles and so far have raised more than $200 for the Breast Cancer Foundation.
The girls said this charity is close to their hearts as family members have survived breast cancer.
"We are overwhelmed with the community support, it really is a testament to regional communities that we can band together and support not only small business but charities as well, some members in the community even donated additional money towards the breast cancer foundation," Layla said.
The girls have huge hearts and are always looking to support local charities

"We made custom breast cancer stickers for our jars and any one who bought a candle from us with that sticker on it made a donation.
"We didn't have a goal when we started, we were happy even if it was only $5, as long as we contributed," Hallie said.
The girls said hopefully the money they have contributed will go towards a much needed cure for breast cancer, but that's now up to the breast cancer charity.
"We have donated to breast cancer and are now onto our next fundraiser," Layla said.
The girls plan to continue supporting further charities and will be raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctors Service next. Despite being extremely busy taking on school at the central west leadership academy and running a business, they are always putting their spare time to good use.

Parents Shaun and Tegan Primmer said they are proud of the girls achievements, saying they were very grounded with their approach to life.
"The girls have huge hearts and are always looking to support local charities," Mr Primmer said.
The girls will donate $5 from every candle that is purchased.
