Spring is in the air and we are having some great weather here in Houston. It’s been a bit windy, but it’s been great outside. Spring is a time for new beginnings and it always serves as a reminder for us at Hot Shot to reconnect and give back to our local charities. We support several local charites and we hope to highlight all of them through this outlet over the next few months.
May 1st is Lemonade Day! What is Lemonade Day?
Lemonade Day is a part of Prepared 4 Life, a non-profit that provides fun, proactive and experiential programs infused with life skills, character education and entrepreneurship. Born in Houston in 2007, Lemonade Day was inspired by the lessons local entrepreneur and philanthropist Michael Holthouse taught his young daughter and her friend when they set-up a lemonade stand. Five years ago, instead of giving his daughter money to buy something, Michael Holthouse encouraged her to set goals and work for it. Who knew that what started as an innocent question from Michael Holthouse’s then 10-year-old daughter, Lissa, wanting to purchase a pet turtle, would turn into a life changing opportunity for hundreds of thousands of children across Houston and the country.
Lissa and a friend set up a lemonade stand, and learned a lot along the way. Michael realized that there were important lessons in mentoring and business that he was able to share with his daughter that day. That one day sitting in the driveway with his daughter inspired what is now known as Lemonade Day. It is day of educating and empowering youth to have a dream and pursue it.
It is my belief that the lessons learned through Lemonade Day will help these young men and women become the business leaders of the future. So, on Sunday May 1st, look for Lemonade Stands and support these kids in their business venture.
