Welcome to Lemonade Day, where we are changing the trajectory of McMinnville, northwest Oregon and our country…one lemonade stand at a time by teaching kids to start, own, and operate their very own business. Save the date May 2, 2020.
On May 2nd, 2020 the 225+ students participating will be able to say that for at least one day they were business owners. They will experience the hard work of planning and preparation that goes into starting a business, the exhilaration and exhaustion of running a business, and the pride from knowing that they took a risk and did something daring.
We know that America was built on the work and success of small businesses. Entrepreneurs take risks believing that they can accomplish their dreams if they work hard, take responsibility, and act as good stewards of their resources. Today’s youth share that optimism, but lack the life skills, mentor-ship, and real-world experience necessary to be successful.
Lemonade Day is FREE to youth. It is a step-by-step program that walks students from a dream to a business plan, while teaching them the principles required to start and run their own company… a lemonade stand! Inspiring kids to work hard and make a profit, Lemonade Day also teaches them to spend some, save some, and share some by giving back to their community.
Take advantage of the McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce sponsored event Lemonade Day McMinnville. Sponsor Lemonade Day and make a difference in the lives of youth.
