Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce and Sylvania School District Partner on Expanded 2026 Lemonade Day Program This May

The Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce and the Sylvania School District are proud to announce the 2026 Lemonade Day Sylvania program this May, an innovative initiative designed to engage third grade students in entrepreneurship and financial literacy.

The 2026 program marks a significant expansion within the Sylvania School District, growing beyond last year’s programming at Highland Elementary to now include over three hundred students from several elementary schools.

“Lemonade Day represents a commitment to promoting financial literacy, fostering entrepreneurship, and instilling re- sponsibility and self-reliance in Sylvania's future business leaders,” shared Tiffany Bosch, President/CEO of the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce. “We are excited to see the mentorship and family bonds created and encourage community members to support Lemonade stands as they pop up in late May.”

About Lemonade Day

Lemonade Day was founded on an important American principal that entrepreneurs take risks, believing they can realize their dream if they work hard, take responsibility and act as good stewards of their resources. Today’s youth – at the national and international level – share that optimism but lack the life skills, mentorship and real-world experience necessary to be successful. Founder Michael Holthouse had a vision to empower today’s youth to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs through helping them start, own and operate their very own business... a lemonade stand.

Lemonade Day is a strategic lesson-based program that walks youth from a dream to a business plan while teaching them the same principles required to start any company. Inspiring kids to work hard and make a profit, they are also taught to spend some, save some, and share some by giving back to their community. Since its launch in 2007 in Houston, Texas, Lemonade Day has grown from serving 2,700 kids in one city to 1 million children in 80+ licensed markets in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, six U.S. military bases, and growing. Lemonade Day sparks the spirit of entrepreneurship and empowers youth to set goals, work hard, and achieve their dreams.

Program sponsors of 2026 Lemonade Day Sylvania include Waterford Bank, N.A., Mayberry Ice Cream, and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
