The Origins of Lemonade Day
Lemonade Day was launched in 2007 by Michael Holthouse, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, as a way to empower young people through entrepreneurship. The goal? Teach kids how to start, own, and operate their very own lemonade stands—helping them learn business skills like budgeting, setting goals, and customer service in a fun and hands-on way.
Over the years, the initiative has grown into a national movement, encouraging communities to support budding entrepreneurs and fostering the spirit of innovation, one lemonade stand at a time.
Whether you’re helping a young entrepreneur set up their first stand or simply sipping a glass in the sun, Lemonade Day is all about celebrating creativity, community, and cool drinks.
