SMALL BUSINESS FUELS
BIG DREAMS
T
he mission of the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce Foundation is to develop
leaders and entrepreneurs to make a positive impact in Corpus Christi. Lemonade Day per-
fectly aligns with that mission; and targets a younger crowd than the typical programs of the
Chamber.
The 5th 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 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.
In preparation for Lemonade Day, 30+ registered participants attended the Best Tasting Lem-
onade Finals on Tuesday evening at La Palmera Mall! The delicious lemonade, creative stands,
and enthusiastic entrepreneurs made one thing evident.. the Coastal Bend is in for a real treat
come May 13!! CONGRATS TO THE TOP FINALISTS: (pictured above from left to right) 3rd
Place, Reese's Famous Lemonade; 2nd Place, Gabby's Lemonade Express; 1st Place, Girl Scout
Troop #96026.
