A few Calgary kids get sneak peek ahead of Lemonade Day

A group of kids got a sneak peek ahead of Lemonade Day in July, where Calgary kids raise money for charity and learn how about brand building and marketing.

A small group of Calgary kids got a head start on Lemonade Day on Friday.

The kids were treated to lemonade testing and brand building at the Lemon Lab.

Lemonade Day is scheduled for July 18 for kids five to 13 years old.

Participants will set up stands throughout the city, making their own lemonade while also marketing it.

The day is meant to help teach kids entrepreneurial skills.

On average, each stand donated $67 to charity last year.

This year, organizers are hoping 1,500 kids will participate throughout the city.

“Well, we hope that they come out of it with confidence and excitement about what they can contribute to society in the future,” said Mona Csada, the City of Calgary’s Lemonade Day spokesperson.
