A Sweeter View for 2025!
Lemonade Day is a non-profit initiative that prepares youth for life through a unique entrepreneurial and experiential learning program that teaches kids how to start, own, and operate their very own business - a lemonade stand! Lemonade Day is proven to positively impact academic performance, foster career exploration, and support key developmental assets necessary to become thriving, successful adults. Since 2006, Lemonade Day has served more than 1.5 million children in 100+ markets across North America (and counting).
The Parker County Chamber of Commerce is proud to be launching our inaugural Lemonade Day May 17th, 2025, and I am thrilled to invite you to share in this opportunity to plant the seed of entrepreneurship within the next generation to create the business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers, and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow.
Studies show that by age nine, children have developed their concept around the value of money, spending and saving. Most financial literacy programs are not introduced until middle or high school, and according to research by Gallup, less than .25% of high school graduates are ready to contribute to the economic vitality of their community. In the face of these challenges we make lemonade.
During our first year, we are seeking to engage 250 children. By running their stand, program participants will gain valuable life and business skills, learn the importance of earning, saving, spending, and sharing money wisely, and develop confidence in their materials, curriculum, and events that make Lemonade Day come to life are free to every youth participant in Parker County. As a supporter, you will foster a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity which positively impacts communication skills, problem solving abilities, school motivation, and sense of purpose for the youth of our community - all while squeezing as much fun out of the experience as possible!
