Bank Loan Day is an event for kids who want to be involved in Lemonade Day to get a bank loan from First United Bank at their 4th & Frankford location. Bank Loan Day teaches children how to take out a small business loan for their lemonade stand.

Participating children will need to complete a business plan for their lemonade stand, speak with a loan officer and apply for a small business loan. Each applicant can receive up to $40. Much like a traditional loan for small businesses, chilren will pay a $1 processing fee for their loan and be expected to pay back the money they borrow by Friday, May 10, 2024. Loan forms will be provided at the event and the process of applying for a loan will be explained by a loan officer.

The mission of Lubbock Lemonade Day is to help today's youth become the business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow . . . one lemonade stand at a time.
