LEMONADE DAY TEACHES ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO COASTAL BEND YOUTH T he mission of the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Com- merce Foundation is to develop leaders and entrepreneurs to make a positive impact in Corpus Christi. Lemonade Day perfectly aligns with that mission; and targets a younger crowd than the typical programs of the Chamber. The fifth annual Lemonade Day Coastal Bend, presented by Kleberg Bank, is set to take place on Saturday, May 13, 2017. Lemonade Day teaches youth to start, own, and operate their very own business through the unique, real-world experience of running a lemonade stand. The program is designed to teach kids, ages 5-18 years, about entrepreneurship, financial literacy and the importance of giving back. Over 2,000 youth are expected to participate in this years event. All registered youth receive free backpacks that include educational workbooks and materials for youth to prepare for Lemonade Day. This would not be possible without the gener- ous support of local businesses.
