What is Lemonade Day?
It is a FUN, FREE, city-wide event where KIDS get to MAKE and KEEP THE MONEY that they earn.
Kids of all ages learn to set goals, develop a business plan, establish a budget, seek investors, provide customer service, and give back to their community.
Lemonade Day is Simple
- First, kids get a Lemonade Day Backpack that includes the fun and instructive Entrepreneur's Workbook.
- Then on May 2nd 2010 (officially called "Lemonade Day"), each kid sets up their lemonade stand at the time and location of their choice and sells lemonade to the community.
- Finally, and best of all, kids keep what they earn!
Community Event
Lemonade Day involves the entire community.
- We seek out Partners (such as Youth Organizations, Schools, Churchs and Businesses) to register kids for Lemonade Day and distribute backpacks.
- We need Volunteers to stuff backpacks (great community project for High School and College Students) and distribute the backpacks to our Partners.
- We need Sponsors and Donors to help with the costs.
- And we need Thirsty Customers to buy lemonade on Lemonade Day.
Lessons Learned
As the kids are having fun experimenting with lemonade recipes, designing and crafting a lemonade stand and selling lemonade to friends and neighbors, they actually will be learning important life lessons that they can utilize throughout their life.
