First National Bank promotes its Young Entrepreneurs with big lemonade stand
For a number of years, First National Bank has been actively involved in providing financial education to youth in area schools. Students are taught the importance of saving, the differences between wants and needs, and about understanding the value of money. In 2010, the Bank started a "Young Entrepreneurs" program that specifically focused on encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, personal responsibility, and creativity. This year, the Bank has continued delivering that message and encouraging students to take ownership of the things they want by earning their own money.
Now, First National is taking this one step further by hosting a Big Lemonade Stand on June 24th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the lawn of the Bluffton Presbyterian Church at the intersection of Main and Cherry Streets. This coincides with the Festival of Wheels and Relay for Life during Bluffton's Amerifest and Sesquicentennial Celebration.
The Bank offers a youth savings account called Moola Moola and all members age 5-13 were invited to help with the Big Lemonade Stand. The first 50 children that volunteered will help with the stand and then all proceeds will be split and deposited into their Moola Moola accounts.
Brendon Matthews, Senior Vice President of First National Bank, said "The response we've seen from local youth has been fantastic so far and we encourage the community to support these Young Entrepreneurs by visiting the lemonade stand on June 24th."
