Lemonade Day Monroe County is a collaborative effort of the City of Bloomington, Monroe County government, the Boys and Girls Club and the Ivy Tech Gayle and Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship that promotes entrepreneurship to the community’s youth through the operation of lemonade stands.
“Build a stand, Spark a dream!” This relates well to our foremost objective: to empower youth to take ownership of their lives and grow to become productive community members – business owners, social advocates, and goal oriented citizens. Lemonade Day is an opportunity for caring adult mentors to share time with children, working together on a meaningful project that imparts life lessons in successful self-reliance and citizenship. Lemonade Day brings the community together to experience entrepreneurship, promote philanthropy, and celebrate the bright aspirations of our future leaders.
