Youth Give Back to Dallas' Fallen With Lemonade Stands

Children have the biggest hearts and their generosity truly does shine. Many youth around the nation have been using lemonade stands to give back to the families of the fallen police officers of Dallas.

Here are just a few:

Briaroaks Fire Department

Charlie, pictured with Briaroaks Fire Department in Burleson, TX, set up a stand outside his house with the hopes of helping the Dallas area families of the fallen. Friends helped spread the word and neighbors donated cookies and lemonade mix. With an overwhelming turnout he was able to donate over $2,400 to Russ Martin Listeners Foundation to be donated to the families.

Dallas Fallen Police Officers

Claire, a three-year old in Wisconsin, was already an entrepreneur who enjoyed selling lemonade. Together her and her dad, Ryan - a police officer, came up with the idea of donating all their proceeds to the families of the fallen police officers in Dallas. Watch an interview with Claire.

Russ Martin Listeners Foundation

A group of youth in Rowlett, Texas, raised a total of $65 to donate to Russ Martin Listeners Foundation by selling lemonade, Kool-Aid, and brownies.

Back the Blue

In Keller, TX two young girls used "Back the Blue" to market their lemonade stand.

Local Police

Bexar County youth gave away free lemonade to their local police force.

What these children have chosen to do is amazing! Youth around the world continue to shock us with all the outstanding things they do and create. That is part of the reason why we are continue to try to teach and empower all youth with entrepreneurship skills, business skills, financial literacy, and giving back to their community through our program.
