Crayons to Commerce The Ultimate Family Day Care Virtual Mixer! September 24th 2026

Crayons to Commerce The Ultimate Family Day Care Virtual Mixer! 🖍️

Running a Family Day Care is no joke. One minute you’re mediating a high-stakes dispute over a blue crayon, and the next, you’re crunching numbers to maximize your profit margins. It’s a unique business model that demands a unique kind of support.

That’s why the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry is thrilled to announce our upcoming national virtual mixer: Crayons to Commerce!

Hosted by our Northeast Regional Ambassador, Cheryl Benneu-Sahko, this event is happening on Thursday, September 24th, 2026, at 6:00 PM EST. We are officially ditching the awkward virtual breakout rooms that feel like a time-out. Instead, we’re keeping everyone together in one massive “digital town square” to share real, actionable business strategies.
