Lemonade Day

The Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce is bringing Lemonade Day.

Lemonade Day will be Friday, August 2nd from 3 to 6 p.m. in Grants Pass. Lemonade stands will be placed all over town. These young entrepreneurs will be selling their final product. Prizes will be given for the best product and most creative stand. Participants will also have a chance to be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift card.

Throughout the course of the program, these young entrepreneurs learn how to start, own and operate their own business- a lemonade stand. They learn business skills, financial literacy, goal setting and teamwork. This experience helps spark an explosion of new confidence in their abilities and a new vision of the possibilities for the future. Participants are encouraged to spend some, save some for the future and share some with a local non-profit of their choice.

As in previous years, Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Boys & Girls Club to host a resource fair. The resource fair will provide helpful tips and booths on topics such as customer service, budget/financial assistance, creating a product, choosing a stand location, and answering any questions. New this year, the Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce is excited to launch the Lemonade Day App. This educational program will take your child, step by step, on a journey to become an entrepreneur. They will learn business skills, responsibility, financial literacy, goal setting, and teamwork. More importantly they will have fun while doing it/

Anyone and everyone can be involved in Lemonade Day. Young entrepreneurs with lemonade stands need mentors, investors, business partners, great locations and customers. Sponsors and volunteers are also needed to make Lemonade Day a success.

This is an annual event for the Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce. The event’s title sponsor Northwest Community Credit Union.
