Become a Sponsor

Resident Appreciation Day is made possible through the support of local businesses and community partners. Sponsorship is a great way to showcase your business while supporting a well-attended local event.

We are going out to our business community to ask each business to sponsor one child who will design, decorate, and give away lemonade at their lemonade stand. Each business will be paired with a Calmar Child to help cover the cost of supplies to make and give away the lemonade. The stand and its decorations will be up to the children (and their parents). The idea behind this is to introduce our young entrepreneurs to our business community.

Free BBQ for Calmar Residents

Enjoy a complimentary BBQ as a thank-you to our residents. Come hungry and take part in a relaxed afternoon filled with good food, conversation, and community spirit. This portion of the event is exclusively for Calmar residents.

Lemonade Stand Event

One of the highlights of the day is the Lemonade Stand Event, where local youth have the opportunity to set up their own stands, get creative, and participate in a fun, community-focused activity.

Participants can:

  • Run their own lemonade stand
  • Engage with the community
  • Compete for awards and recognition

Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
