CANTON, GA (October 3, 2024) – In wrapping up their participation in the National Lemonade Day program, the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce honored the top participants during the Chamber’s October Good Morning Cherokee networking event. The Cherokee County Lemonade Day “Lemonade Legend” and the 2024 Youth Entrepreneur of the Year were announced. “The decision to honor two students was determined by a panel of judges who reviewed business results from a variety of Lemonade Day student entrepreneurs”, announced Chamber President & CEO Pam Carnes. “The business results included their goals along with how much they spent, saved, and shared, as well as, why they participated and what they learned.”
The Cherokee County Lemonade Day 2024 awards were sponsored by Farm Bureau Bank. “Farm Bureau Bank was excited to support the Chamber and National Lemonade Day as financial literacy is extremely important to learn at a young age,” shared Sarah Gaither, Farm Bureau Bank’s Treasury Management Officer. The winners received trophies and Amazon gift cards for their achievements.
A well-established global national youth entrepreneurship program, Lemonade Day teaches leadership and business skills by encouraging students to launch a lemonade business in their community. Since 2007, more than 1 million students have learned about business ownership by participating in Lemonade Day.
