FSC First Joins Partners to Celebrate Black Business Month with a Summer Soiree

Recognizing the vital contributions of Black-owned businesses to the local economy, the Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (PGCEDC) is proud to host the Black Business Month Summer Soiree at the end of August. This signature event is presented in collaboration with the Maryland Black Chamber of Commerce, Prince George’s County Chamber of Commerce, Prince George’s Economic Development Corporation, and the Bi-County Business Roundtable.

The Summer Soiree will spotlight the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of Black business owners throughout the County and beyond. Attendees will enjoy robust networking opportunities, engage with local Black-owned businesses, and gain access to valuable resources designed to help entrepreneurs grow and succeed.

Observed every August, National Black Business Month is a time to honor and support Black-owned businesses across the United States. This month-long celebration shines a light on the economic impact of Black entrepreneurs, fosters community engagement, and raises awareness of the unique challenges they face. It also serves as a call to action to support Black businesses through consumer spending, policy advocacy, and expanded access to capital and opportunity.
