Media Advisory: 2023 Junior Market
WHAT: 2023 Junior Market
BACKGROUND: Lemonade Day Greater Vancouver, a leading advocate for youth empowerment and financial literacy, is thrilled to announce the upcoming Junior Market event, brought to the community by the Greater Vancouver Chamber and presented by OnPoint Community Credit Union, on Saturday, June 3rd. We cordially invite members of the media to join us for this exciting event and witness the brilliance of our young entrepreneurs as they make their mark on the world!
Over 300 kids 6-16 years old from across the region have signed up to run their very own business for a day selling creative homegrown and handmade products at the Junior Market. This event serves as a platform for our kids to showcase the business skills they have learned through the My Lemonade Day program, like how to create budgets, set profit-making goals, serve customers, repay investors, and give back to the community.
The average profit per stand is $225, but children commonly make $300-$500 on this day, and many up to or over $1000! Last year’s event generated $25,000 in profit that went directly into the pockets of our young CEOs.
We are confident that the Junior Marker event will be an inspiring and captivating experience for the media, providing compelling stories and visuals that showcase the extraordinary potential of our youth. Take advantage of the opportunity to interview the participating kids, mentors, business leaders, and partners who have been instrumental in fostering a culture of innovation and supporting these young achievers. By covering this event, you have the opportunity to highlight the importance of nurturing young talent, driving innovation, and celebrating the achievements of our future leaders.
Join us for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 8:50 AM!
