BROWNSBURG — Two young brothers in Brownsburg are using their lemonade-selling skills to raise money for good causes in their community.
For four years now, Logan, 11, and Austin, 10, have set up a lemonade stand in their neighborhood to raise and collect money to donate to organizations in their community.
The brothers have raised over $10,000 since they first began their lemonade enterprise.
In the past, the money has gone to the Brownsburg Fire Territory, the Brownsburg Police Department and other organizations in their community.
This year, their proceeds will all be split between the Hendricks County Animal Shelter, the Brownsburg Police Dept. K-9 Unit and the Rehab Support Unit.
"Last year we made $3,000.68 about exactly," Logan told WRTV. "The year before $2,500 and the first year about $2,000."
The boys had their lemonade stand in person for two days in their Brownsburg neighborhood.
So far this year, the boys have already surpassed their $3,000 and they will continue to collect donations online through Friday, July 28.
"In the fire service we say all give some, but some give all," Brownsburg FD PIO Nina Powell said at the boys' event. "These boys are giving all. The values their parents have taught them align directly with how we are trained. It's so heartwarming to see the boys out here thinking about others.
And their message to other budding entrepreneurs who want to do good in their community? "Just don't give up - and do your best."
