Young entrepreneurs turn lemonade into cash for LA Lemonade Day

For Kennedy and Ryiann, lemonade is more than just a sweet summer drink. For them, it teaches life lessons.

"We're kind of teaching them responsibility and how to work hard for what you want," said Ashley Smith, Ryiann's mom.

This young business duo and their moms set up a lemonade stand on 165 today, learning how to perfectly blend water, sugar, and lemon juice while taking their first crack at running a business.

"You use lots of sugar and love," said Kennedy and Riyann.

"The more they'll understand on how to do that and how to hand money they may never work for nobody," said lemonade customer Ortadius Brass.

Brass stopped by to support the young business owners.

He learned that they're also giving back too. Ten percent of their profits is going to their church. Another ten percent is going to their school.

"They invest first then spend later, which is a great thing of what wealthy people do," said Brass.

This is all part of Louisiana Lemonade Day, which was started by raising canes CEO Todd Graves, who knows a thing or two about lemonade himself. It's part of what made him famous.

"Now I have over 300 restaurants all over the country," said Graves.

He says today though is all about the kids.

"Over a hundred thousand kids have done the lemonade day program and they've learned a lot."

Learning and lemonade - two things that make today extra sweet.

The two young business owners say they're going to spend the final 80 percent of their profits on a summer vacation.
