After 8 weeks of a hands-on entrepreneurship curriculum, every 4th and 5th grader at all BGCP Clubs brings their learning to life at our special capstone event: Lemonade Day Sales Competition. Over the course of the program, Club kids practice goal-setting, budgeting and pricing, branding, marketing, and customer service–then they take their stands to market for a one-day community celebration of youth entrepreneurship.

On Market Day, teams compete for $10,000 in cash prizes, including a top honor for the team that sells the most lemonade. It’s a festive showcase of skill, teamwork, creativity and confidence–and a core component of our skills building continuum for Life & Career Readiness.

Companies can support by hosting stand locations, volunteering to support youth entrepreneur teams, or sponsoring cash prizes.
