All sales this weekend at Bob’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Bars at

the Orange County Market Place at the Fairgrounds will benefit Young

Entrepreneur Inc., a nonprofit that runs entrepreneurship programs

for local students.

The money is expected to fund 350 entrepreneurship workshops

conducted annually throughout Orange County’s 70 high schools,

including those in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.

In the workshops, teens are taught how to turn their hobbies into

businesses by using their reading, writing and math skills. Last

month, Lance Larson, a student who took part in one of the

organization’s workshops, was a national finalist in an annual Young

Entrepreneur of the Year search in Washington D.C. Lance’s Web site

hosting business generates $30,000 a month from international

clients.
