Inspiring Entrepreneurship in Kids with Lemonade Day

Lemonade Day Denver announces Collegiate Peaks Bank as its inaugural banking sponsor, enabling the program to expand its reach and provide more Denver-area children with free access to hands-on entrepreneurship education.

"We are incredibly grateful to Collegiate Peaks Bank for their support as our first banking partner and for being the first bank in Denver to support Lemonade Day!" said Katie Sever, Lemonade Day's Denver Market Manager. "Their commitment to investing in our city's young entrepreneurs is inspiring."

"A key part of our culture at Collegiate Peaks Bank is supporting the communities we serve, and that begins with investing in children," said Liam Girard, President of Collegiate Peaks Bank. "When young people learn about money early, they're better equipped for long-term success."

Lemonade Day teaches youth how to start and operate their own lemonade stand business, developing entrepreneurship skills and financial literacy while learning to spend some, save some, and share some of their profits.

"Leaders like Collegiate Peaks Bank ensure kids experience hands-on entrepreneurship that builds confidence, financial literacy, and an entrepreneurial mindset."
