    An unforgettable evening returns—bigger and bolder.

    After a sold-out inaugural event, the Black Chamber of Commerce – Summit County is proud to present our 2026 Annual Fundraiser, Expanding the Room. This premier fundraising experience brings together leaders, partners, and change-makers committed to empowering business and building community.

    Join us for an evening of inspiration, networking, and purpose as we continue building a stronger, more connected Black business ecosystem in Summit County and beyond. This is more than an event—it’s an investment in the future of Black businesses.
