Operation Kids Sponsorships

Support tomorrow’s Business Leaders with an Operation Kids/Kid Zone Sponsorship!

Operation Kids is a young entrepreneur event for children ages 6 to 15 that place in Kid Zone during the Annual EA Summer Street Festival (formerly the Sidewalk Sale & Street Festival)

This year’s event will be held Saturday, July 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Kid Zone on Riley Street in the Village of East Aurora.

Your financial support of this event will help us provide a safe environment for our young entrepreneurs to operate a business for the day.

The Chamber provides all OPK vendors with a 10×10 Vendor spot in Kid Zone as well as a Business Starter Kit, an Entrepreneurship 101 Class, and a Business Permit.

Help us educate our young people on what it takes to start their own business and share in their success! 

Your support also shows the community your commitment to youth development, education and creativity while empowering kids.

If you are a business or organization that values community development and youth empowerment, please browse our sponsorship options to find the right fit for you! Thank you for joining us in making a lasting impact.
