🍋Are you asking yourself, "What is "Lemonade Day?!"...
Well, let us explain. Lemonade Day is a fun, experiential program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their very own business - a lemonade stand. Lemonade Day is a practical way to enhance a child’s learning, explore their entrepreneurial spirit, and foster a growth mindset. Lemonade Day gives them real-world experience on building, operating, and maintaining a business.
🍋There are THREE Stages in the Program Timeline:
1️⃣ Preparation:
This is where the child registers, and their workbook/materials are distributed. (Registration for youth participants will be in February)
2️⃣ Implementation:
There are 4 learning sessions that we will host. Each session covers important material, such as: What being an entrepreneur is, how to set a goal, how to make a business plan, how to find a business partner and/or an investor, product development, advertising, budgeting, and action steps. The last session is a post event wrap-up where we reflect on results of their official "Lemonade Day" event (which will be held on June 1st), review their accounting, and build future plans.
3️⃣ Wrap-up:
They submit their individual business results online to the Lemonade Day Website and enter to win Nationwide Prizes.
🍋What does the sponsorship money go towards?:
Each dollar we receive towards Lemonade Day is tax deductible and goes towards material packets for each "stand". For example, a $10 contribution sponsors 1 child/1 lemonade stand. A $50 contribution sponsors 5 children/5 lemonade stands.
