Lemonade Day McAllen

Lemonade Day is Empowering Today’s Youth to Become Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs. What is Lemonade Day? How did Lemonade Day get started? When is Lemonade Day?

Registration for Junior Market is open 11/01/2025
https://local.lemonadeday.org/mcallen 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. Michael Holthouse, a Houston entrepreneur and philanthropist, co-founded Prepared 4 Life (P4L), a nonprofit that provides fun, proactive and experiential

programs infused with life skill, character education and entrepreneurship. Inspired by the lessons he was able to teach his young daughter and her friend when they set up a lemonade stand, Holthouse launched Lemonade Day in Houston, Texas in 2007 as a community-wide, educational initiative, which has now become P4L’s number one outreach and educational priority. It will be on October 14-15,2023

Who can participate? Lemonade Day is the perfect opportunity for the entire community to come together and train the next generation of entrepreneurs. Youth of all ages, from Pre-K through high school, can register for an official Lemonade Day stand and adults are needed to participate as mentors and volunteers. In addition, community support from schools, churches, businesses and youth organizations is essential to the success of Lemonade Day. How does it work? Each child that registers for Lemonade day receives a yellow backpack containing an entrepreneurial workbook for the child and a caring adult guide. The workbooks outline the steps needed to start a business, from setting a goal, creating a business plan, forming a budget, finding an investor, to saving money and donating a portion back to their community. How does a child register? Registration will begin in the spring. A child can register by completing a printed application available through participating partners, such as schools or youth organizations, or by registering online at http://mcallen.lemonadeday.org/. Parents of interested youth can visit the Lemonade Day website and supply their email address to receive updates on registration and sign-up events. What do children learn? The objective of Lemonade Day is to teach youth how to start and run their own lemonade business. Through this enterprise, children will learn the entrepreneurial skills necessary to be successful in the future and become contributing members of their communities. The best part of the program for kids is that after covering their expenses and paying back their investors, they can keep what they earn. With this in mind, children are encouraged to open a youth savings account so their profits can continue to grow as well as give a portion of their earnings to a charity. The program consist of the following 14 steps:
1. Setting Goals
2. Planning
3. Budgeting
4. Finding an Investor
5. Site Selection
6. Advertising
7. Building a Stand
8. Purchasing
9. Making Healthy Lemonade
10. Setting Up
11. Running Your Business
12. Business Results & Accounting
13. Saving and Sharing
14. Reflections and Future Plans

How can I get involved in Lemonade Day? Anyone and everyone can be involved in Lemonade Day. Young entrepreneurs that have lemonade stands need mentors, investors, employees and customers! Sponsors and volunteers are also needed to make Lemonade Day a success. All money raised through local donations and sponsorships is used to directly support McAllen Lemonade Day. How many participants? Our goal is to have 50 stands around the City of McAllen. For more information call (956) 776-2994
