Special Note For Parents: the prizes below are pretty exciting, and the kids may get REALLY excited about winning. This is good! However, please set expectations that there are many ambitious kids all over the world competing to win, and truly “doing their best” is its own reward. Just like kids who are excited to compete in a baseball or soccer tournament or spelling-Bee, they will want to win, and if they lose, it can be emotional…however, good sportsmanship & giving their best effort is the secret we want them to learn. So please have a conversation with your children about the competitive nature of the Lemonade Crusade awards. Last thing, scoring & reporting is based on the honor system, and we have a panel of 3 successful entrepreneurs (with no children in the competition), who will be reviewing all the scorecards & video entries. Points alone will NOT determine the winners, videos entries will play a strong role in deciding the winners…let the kids help in editing the videos wherever possible). The panel will make the difficult decision on the top placements

The Great Lemonade Crusade Results ~ Instilling Entrepreneurial Skills in Our Youth
Traeton had a great time with the people stopping by and with his friends. I think he enjoyed finally having a platform for his magic tricks which was his side-show entertainment while they had their refreshing beverage. I was amazed at how many people just donated for the purpose of encouraging the kids to be “Go Getters”. It was pretty cool. We had 7 lemons in the bowl Friday, but had to use 5 of them no Saturday to make our last few gallons of lemonade (that’s why you see 2 in the video – the last hour of business).
Traeton finished the P&L spreadsheet tonight. Total profit after 2days $56.18. Enjoy the video ~>>

I’m incredibly proud of Cruz and Rico – they’ve totally managed the lemonade crusade by themselves this year. The only thing I did was help with driving them to make their purchases, and to get the major parts of the stand set up.
They’ve outdone themselves with comments like “I’m really proud of myself” and “I had such a great time”. Their learning has sky-rocketed this year with the responsibility they’ve taken on. They’re saying they will definitely continue to do this and are saving their profits for their “real business” when they’re older 🙂
And can I add that we are in New Zealand so its the winter time here so no mean feat to sell cold lemonade!! One day they were out for 4 hours!! LOL ;–)
Cruz and Rico scored 185 points.
Enjoy their video and profit/loss statement they independently produced….

So much so the plan on holding stand throughout the rest of the summer!
When asked the 2 things that stood out most about running a 5 ☆ Lemonade Stand’ They said ..1). Hardwork 2) It was So Much FUN! 3) We met So many cool people!
They Even came up with a Plan when on one of our planned days…it was pouring down rain…to Deliver to the customer to their car! And put up a covered area for additional comfort!! Go TEAM!! Talk about going the Extra mile for their customers! It was a Real Pleasure – even as their Mom to see these kiddos think outside of the box to Problem Solve instead of just ‘fold uo camp’ and give up! They had several professional stop by Just to let them know how well they did on their Marketing! I believe for their 1st go around they did an Exceptional job! I was Inspired by their desire to use their ‘profits’ to make sandwiches for our communities homeless ❤

About Us
The Great Lemonade Crusade is presented to you by Clients & Community (C&C).
Those of you who know Landon Stewart, Chris Stapleton and Jaden Easton’s (founders of C&C) entrepreneurial story…know that their late mentor Mark Hoverson played a pivotal role in shaping them into who they are today.
So they partnered with Shannon Hoverson (Solomon Foundation) to bring back their late mentor Mark Hoverson’s passion and vision for mentoring young kids, in entrepreneurship, through “The Great Lemonade Crusade”.
Not just any lemonade stand, we use this simple yet profound model to impart critical business skills such as understanding profit and loss sheets, the significance of upselling, and the impact of presentation on business success. Our aim is to foster the entrepreneurial spirit in children, setting them up for success in their future endeavors.
Join us and support this transformative movement today.
