Squeeze the Day: Rockwall Chamber’s 3rd annual Lemonade Day returns

Rockwall, TX (March 27, 2025) – We all know the saying, “When life gives you lemons…” Well, the Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce is putting that phrase into action! This year marks our third annual Lemonade Day, an exciting initiative that empowers young entrepreneurs to take their first steps into the world of business.

Open to children ages 6-18, Lemonade Day is the world’s leading lemonade stand project, blending hands-on experience with a time-tested educational curriculum. It’s more than just selling lemonade—it’s about fostering an entrepreneurial spirit, teaching financial literacy, and encouraging kids to dream big! Through interactive lessons, real-world experience, and mentorship, lemonade day participants gain valuable skills that will benefit them in life far beyond the lemonade stand.  Our Junior Market allows them to sell other items other than lemonade.  Please sign your child up today!

As in past years, community engagement and workforce development remain at the heart of this initiative. At the Rockwall Chamber, we understand the importance of investing in today’s youth because they are the future leaders of our community and our world. One of our key strategic priorities is building a thriving business environment, and we believe that begins with inspiring Rockwall’s youngest entrepreneurs.

Why Lemonade Day- Junior Market?

Lemonade Day is a fun, free, and easy way for kids to learn how to apply essential life and business skills. Through the Lemonade Day interactive app and multi-day guided curriculum, young participants will:

  • Learn Basic Business & Financial Literacy Skills
  • Develop Problem-Solving & Decision-Making Abilities
  • Gain Hands-On Entrepreneurial Experience
  • Build Confidence & Strengthen Communication Skills
  • Foster a Growth Mindset & Social Responsibility

The Lemonade Day mission is simple yet impactful: prepare youth for life through experiential programs that build character, leadership, and an entrepreneurial mindset. By following the “Spend, Save, Share” model, children learn how to manage money, reinvest in their business, and give back to their community.

About Lemonade Day:

Lemonade Day was founded on an important American principle: entrepreneurs take risks, work hard, and take responsibility for their success. Since its launch in 2007 in Houston, Texas, the program has expanded to serve over 1 million children across 80+ markets, including the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and U.S. military bases. It continues to ignite ambition in young minds and equip them with tools for a prosperous future.
