In 2007, Prepared 4 Life started a community-wide educational initiative called Lemonade Day that has now become the organization’s number one outreach and educational priority.

Lemonade Day is a free, annual community-wide event dedicated to teaching children how to start, own and operate their own business through the simple and time-honored act of running a lemonade stand.  It provides an opportunity for families, businesses, faith-based community organizations and schools to come together for a common purpose – to train the next generation of entrepreneurs through a free, fun, engaging and experiential activity.

As a result of its phenomenal success across the nation, Prepared 4 Life plans to double the number of official Lemonade Day cities in 2011. The goal of Prepared 4 Life is to have one million lemonade stands in more than 100 U.S. cities by 2013.
