Kate Carner and her cousins Chance and Beckett Perry hand their fresh-squeezed lemonade to a kayaker on Lake Union on Saturday, July 24, 2021. Since May, sisters Quinn and Kate have been selling their fresh-squeezed lemonade on Lake Union from a floating dock they built with their father. While it’s fun to sell lemonade and make money, their father says he hopes to teach his girls about running a business and the importance of giving back to their community. Quinn and Kate donate one-third of their earnings to different charities they care about, most recently the Rainier Animal Fund. They also make a $25 micro-loan to low-income entrepreneurs, specifically to women business owners outside the U.S., through the website Kiva.
