In a Nutshell

Donations help provide children with educational materials to learn how to start, own, and operate a business as part of Lemonade Day

The Fine Print

The Issue: Lack of Access to Entrepreneurship Education

Youth entrepreneurship programs have proven to positively affect dropout rates and community engagement, and 88% of young people surveyed in 2011 said they felt entrepreneurship education is vitally important, according to Time magazine. Yet 74% of college students had no access to entrepreneurship resources on campus, and when resources were available, many felt they were inadequate.

The Campaign: Helping Kids Learn Entrepreneurial Skills

If this Grassroots campaign raises $400, then Lemonade Day can provide 100 children with entrepreneurship education materials, including a backpack with an entrepreneur's workbook and a caring-adult guide. Each additional $8 raised will provide two more children with these education materials. These supplies are part of a month-long learning experience to prepare children to participate in Lemonade Day, an annual event held each May when thousands of children, with the help of caring adults, open a lemonade stand. The workbook and mentor teach children 14 lessons to prepare for Lemonade Day, including how to set goals, make a profit, develop a business plan, and give back to the community.

Lemonade Day

Lemonade Day helps youth become productive members of society by teaching them how to start, own, and operate their own businesses. With the help of adults who serves as their mentors, children can participate in the annual Lemonade Day, when thousands of children open lemonade stands for business. Children prepare for the day by studying entrepreneurship lessons and working with their mentor to learn how to set goals, secure an investor, and other crucial steps for a successful business.

Along with learning necessary entrepreneurship skills to help them understand the basic principles of business and become successful in the future, children keep the money earned from their lemonade stand. After covering their expenses and paying back their investors, they are encouraged to open a bank account or share some of the profits with a local charity of their choice.

The Groupon Guide to: Treason

There are traitors everywhere trying to undermine the traditions, symbols, and really big statues that make countries great. Here are some treasonous acts that members of your community could be committing right now:

  • Blowing on your country’s national bird

  • Consuming your country’s national bagel without the accompanying delicious national cream cheese

  • Writing sexy, wizard-themed fan fiction about your country’s highest elected official

  • Keeping all of your patriotic badges of honor in a little coffin

  • Not reciting the national honor pledge in full, which goes: “On this day, this goofy day / I’ll represent my country in a silly way / I’ll wear my best sandals and show off my toe / I’ll boogie in the ways only my countrymen know”

  • Burping up the national flag as a magic trick

What’s so wrong with writing sexy fan fiction about the president?
