Lemonade Day 2026 Was a Sweet Success!

On Saturday, June 6, young entrepreneurs across Wayne County took center stage for another successful Lemonade Day! Kids in Doylestown, Orrville, Shreve, and Wooster embraced the opportunity to be their own boss for the day, operating lemonade stands and gaining firsthand experience in entrepreneurship.

Beyond learning how to run a business, Wayne County Lemonade Day participants demonstrated generosity, creativity, and a commitment to giving back. Many young entrepreneurs pledged a portion of their proceeds to causes close to their hearts, including local animal shelters, veterans' organizations, youth mentorship programs, children's hospitals, service dog organizations, Shop-With-A-Cop, and other community nonprofits. Others set goals to save for college, family vacations, future business ventures, toys, sporting events, and special purchases. Their plans reflected the core Lemonade Day philosophy of "Save Some, Spend Some, Share Some" and showcased how entrepreneurship can help young people make a positive impact in their communities while working toward their own goals.

Thank you to all of the young entrepreneurs, mentors, volunteers, sponsors, and community members who supported Lemonade Day 2026. We are inspired by the creativity, determination, and generosity of Wayne County's future business leaders and can't wait to see what they accomplish next!

Support the next generation of business leaders through a Lemonade Day Sponsorship

Due to the support of our generous sponsors in 2025, we were able to engage over 27 youth across Wayne County and we are looking to help an even greater number of youth realize their potential in 2026! Last year, we hosted two Lemonade Day Workshops to help kids and their mentors brainstorm for their businesses and we look forward to facilitating those again this year. We invite you to share in this opportunity to plant the seed of entrepreneurship within the next generation and create the business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers, and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow. An investment in Lemonade Day will ensure the materials, curriculum, and all events are free to every kid who participates in Wayne County. As a supporter, you will foster a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity that impacts character, teaches financial literacy and business acumen, engages mentors, and provides hands-on experiences for kids to make a profit, save some for a rainy day, and give some to a charity of their choice - all while squeezing as much fun out of the experience as possible!
