LEMONADE DAY IS A FREE COMMUNITY-WIDE, EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO START, OWN, AND OPERATE THEIR OWN BUSINESS — A LEMONADE STAND!
THE LEMONADE DAY, WAYNE COUNTY PROGRAM OFFERS CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SET ACHIEVABLE BUSINESS GOALS, DEVELOP PLANS FOR ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS, FOLLOW THROUGH ON THOSE PLANS, AND ACHIEVE THE DREAM OF RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. THE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES FINANCIAL LITERACY BY INVITING PARTICIPANTS TO DETERMINE COSTS, SET A BUDGET, EARN A PROFIT, AND EVEN GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY BY DONATING A PORTION OF THEIR PROCEEDS TO A CHARITY OF THEIR CHOICE.
THE PROGRAM CULMINATES WHEN CHILDREN SET UP LEMONADE STANDS ACROSS WAYNE COUNTY TO SEE THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL DREAMS COME TO LIFE. COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PATRONIZE THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND SUPPORT THESE BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS IN THEIR QUEST FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM!
