Lemonade Day

Lemonade Day is a community-wide educational program that provides youth with the opportunity to learn how to start, own and operate their first business lemonade stand. Youth are provided with free educational materials through the support of generous local sponsors. They are taught, with the help of a parent, teacher, or mentor, how to set goals, create a product, prepare a budget, seek an investor, choose a location, design a marketing plan, and provide customer service. On Lemonade Day, the young entrepreneurs open for business in public locations throughout the city. They keep the money they earn and are encouraged to spend some, save some for the future, and share some by giving to a local charity of their choice.

For these young entrepreneurs, the experience of setting a goal, creating a business plan, executing their plan, and evaluating their results sparks an explosion of new confidence in their abilities, and for many, a new vision of possibilities for the future. 

To help support the success of our young entrepreneurs, visit stands June 26 and enjoy all the different lemonades! Each stand has a location and hours of operation, to see a live map and plan your timing visit the official website at Lemonadeday.org/schaumburg (make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page for details)

Look forward to seeing all of our members and business professionals support the next generation!
