Business Resource Spotlight: Humboldt Lemonade Day

Humboldt Lemonade DayEvery business starts because someone has a vision and the entrepreneurial spark to pull all the resources together to make it happen. Humboldt Lemonade Day fosters that spark in our community’s youth.

Lemonade stands will pop up throughout Humboldt County on Saturday, June 7, and the kids behind the counters will have created a budget, set profit goals, and learned other business basics to get their first small enterprises started. But these young entrepreneurs need the help of those who have experienced the business world firsthand.

Humboldt businesses and brands can become business partners to support the event by paying $100, offering a location to host a stand, and being creative to help these kids market their business. You won’t be responsible for setup, cleanup, supervising, or planning. What you do receive in return is well worth the effort:

  • Recognition as a Lemonade Day sponsor in promotional material
  • Ad in the North Coast Journal pull-out map of Lemonade Day Stands
  • “Lemonade Day Stand Here” sticker for your business window

The Arcata Economic Development Center and the Decade of Difference are what make this national program possible in Humboldt County. To get involved, visit http://humboldt.lemonadeday.org/.
