Our story

Lemonade Day Laramie - one of Laramie's favorite summer events!

The Laramie story began in 2019 when this wonderful event was brought to the Gem City of the Plains.  In our first year, we had 22 stands with 48 young entrepreneurs participating.  After taking 2020 off during the pandemic, Lemonade Day was back in Laramie for its second year in August 2021.  2023 was our greatest year yet with 82 registered kids and 37 stands!

Help us empower today’s youth to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs!

Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.

The foremost objective of Lemonade Day is to empower youth to take ownership of their lives and become productive members of society – the business leaders, volunteers, and forward thinking citizens of tomorrow.

Each child that registers receives a backpack with an Entrepreneur Workbook that teaches them the lessons of Lemonade Day like creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors, and giving back to the community. Along the way, they acquire skills in goal-setting, problem solving, and gain self-esteem critical for future success. They keep all the money they make and are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some with a charitable cause or non-profit.
