The upcoming Voorhees Small Business Showcase and Expo, scheduled for July 13th, 2024, represents a significant opportunity for small businesses and the community in Voorhees, New Jersey. Organized by Staying The Course Incorporated and Black Ink Creative Partners LLC, this event is designed to go beyond the traditional showcase format, offering a platform for small businesses to gain visibility, access resources, and connect with potential customers and partners.
At the heart of this initiative are Lashaun Drew and Eric Vincent, two entrepreneurs whose shared vision for community empowerment and small business success has brought this event to life. Drew, known for founding The Original Hot Dog Factory - Voorhees and the non-profit Staying The Course Incorporated, alongside Vincent, the creative force behind Black Ink Creative Partners LLC and the ProcurementCon brand family, have curated a day filled with activities aimed at inspiring and engaging attendees.
The event will feature inspirational speakers, musicians, a local designer fashion show, and the unique New Jersey Battle of The Municipalities Hot Dog Eating Contest, which will see mayors competing against each other.

Early support from the township and The Voice Radio Network, which is promoting the event across its seven Latino and Hispanic radio stations, underscores the community's enthusiasm for this initiative. The collaboration has also attracted commitments from various non-profits, media personalities, and companies, all united by the goal of fostering small business growth and community development.
Lashaun Drew's statement, 'This partnership is a testament to our dedication, proving that two distinct missions can support the same audience—our communities. Through collaboration, we'll make this event a statewide example of empowerment, starting in Voorhees, a town dedicated to small business and community success,' captures the essence of what the Voorhees Small Business Showcase and Expo aims to achieve. This event not only highlights the importance of supporting small businesses but also serves as a model for how communities can come together to create opportunities for growth and success.
