The 4th annual Lubbock Lemonade Day is being held on Saturday, May 14 all across the Hub City.
The event is empowering tomorrow’s entrepreneurs by teaching them to start, own and operate their very own business – a lemonade stand.
This year’s goal was to register 4,000 area youth who would partner and start over 900 news businesses across the city.
Lubbock residents and Texas Tech students are asked to buy at least three glasses of lemonade each, increasing the demand to keep pace with the increased supply.
The public is also reminded to drive safely as thousands of young entrepreneurs will be out and about on Saturday.
Expanding on the great partnership forged between Texas Tech University, United Supermarkets and Lubbock Lemonade Day, seven new scholarships will be awarded in 2016 to hard working young entrepreneurs.
The partners proudly announced six $500 scholarships for the following categories:
- Best Business Plan
- Most Creative Marketing
- Best Lemonade Stand
- Best Sales and Customer Service
- Most Profitable Lemonade Stand
- Most Charitable Lemonade Stand
In addition, one Lemonade Day Rockstar will be named Entrepreneur of the Year, taking home the grand prize of a $1,000 scholarship to be awarded on the field at a home football game this fall.
