What is Lemonade Day?
Lemonade Day Lomita is scheduled on August 7, 2021. It is a free youth entrepreneur program that was started in Texas over 10 years ago and has now been brought to Lomita by the Lomita Chamber of Commerce thanks to the support of our generous sponsors and partnership with the City of Lomita.
Registered youth who participate in Lemonade Day on August 7th in Lomita are eligible to enter a drawing to win a new bike, enter to win Youth Entrepreneur of the Year, and have a chance to advance to the National Youth Entrepepreneur of the Year contest where the grand prize winner will be awarded with cash. Youth are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some of their profit with a charity of their choice.
Lemonade Day teaches the basics of entrepreneurial learning: Business Skills, Financial Literacy, Teamwork, Social & Emotional Skills, Goal Setting, and Responsibility. Mentors guide participants through the youth entrepreneurship lessons through the Lemonade Day curriculum and takes participants through the journey of planning, launching and operating a business. The valuable lessons of Lemonade Day include setting a goal, making a plan, working the plan and achieving their dreams. Once a youth pays their investor back, they keep all the money they earn and are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some of their profit.

Congratulations to Coastal Funeral Center! Coastal Funeral Center has truly held their ground after facing the challenges of carrying on a legacy in the ownership transition from AM Gamby to Coastal Funeral Center. Proving to still be the family mortuary of Lomita, Coastal triumphed during a time where many funeral homes said no to families who lost their loved ones. Dealing with the emotional, financial and health concerns that occurred during the pandemic, their team of 3 worked around the clock with families to show them that they could entrust their loved one into the care of Coastal Funeral Center. Nominated for their dedication and professionalism in meeting an unprecedented demand for services while adapting to innovate and create new ways to safely honor loved ones during the difficult time of Covid, Coastal Funeral Center is recognized as the 2021 Business of the Year Award Recipient.

Lomita, CA – Lemonade Day, a well-established global and national youth entrepreneurship program that teaches leadership and business skills by encouraging children to launch a lemonade business in their community, is expanding again. The organization announced that it will bring the Lemonade Day experience to kids in Lomita, California. Since 2007, more than 1 million kids have learned about business ownership by participating in Lemonade Day and hosting a lemonade stand in their community. We are proud to announce that this year Lomita kids will get to join in on the fun.
It has been proven that cities that rally behind Lemonade Day benefit as much as the kids and their adult mentors do. The Lomita Chamber of Commerce will engage with community leaders, financial institutions, elected officials, businesses of all types, executives, youth organizations, schools, churches, and non-profit organizations who are already demonstrating their commitment to helping kids learn valuable lessons that will benefit them for a lifetime.
The impact of a program like Lemonade Day is four-fold: 1) teach financial literacy to kids, which is currently absent in public and private school curriculum; 2) promote entrepreneurship, which is key to jumpstart economic growth in the state; 3) teach kids to be responsible and self-reliant, and to contribute to their community’s development; and 4) foster mentorship and bring families together.
“The Lomita Chamber is thrilled to offer this amazing opportunity to Lomita this year. It’s an event that relies on members of the community coming together for a common purpose – to train the next generation of entrepreneurs, civic leaders and engaged citizens,” said Heidi Butzine, Lomita Chamber President and CEO.
Youth entrepreneurship is gaining momentum around the world. Studies have proven that introducing kids to entrepreneurial experiences at an early age makes a measurable impact on their future decisions related to education, training, life, and work.
Mentors guide participants through the youth entrepreneurship lessons through the Lemonade Day curriculum and takes participants through the journey of planning, launching and operating a business. The valuable lessons of Lemonade Day include setting a goal, making a plan, working the plan and achieving their dreams. Once a youth pays their investor back, they keep all the money they earn and are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some of their profit.
“Cities and communities that host Lemonade Day programs for kids of Kindergarten through Fifth Grade age are making a difference in a positive, meaningful way: they are demonstrating their commitment to bettering people, society and the economy by supporting youth entrepreneurship,” states Debbie Nazarian, Lemonade Day National Director.
Anyone and everyone can be involved in Lemonade Day! Young entrepreneurs with lemonade stands need mentors, investors, business partners, great locations, and customers! Sponsors and volunteers are also needed to make Lemonade Day a success.
