Presented by Teachers Credit Union, Ice Miller and ChaCha, Lemonade Day is a free Indianapolis area initiative designed to teach kids how to start, own, and operate their own business: a lemonade stand! Youth participants will “open up shop” on May 18, throughout the nine-county region, including in Indy Parks.
“We’re in the ‘home stretch’ now, with less than two weeks until Lemonade Day. We want to be sure the remaining 1,000+ backpacks get into the hands of children, as there are valuable lessons in entrepreneurship in the included workbook,” said Lemonade Day Director, Jami Marsh.
“Indy Parks is proud to support Lemonade Day, as it teaches responsibility and business skills to Indianapolis youth. We want to see those budding entrepreneurs out there on Saturday, May 18,” added Indy Parks Director, John Williams.
