Vendor Testimonials

"As the minority business owner of Dogs On The Curb, a gourmet hotdog truck, attending the Small Business Summit sponsored by the Washington Commanders has been one of the highlights of my entrepreneurial journey. Not only did I gain a wealth of knowledge and build connections with like-minded entrepreneurs, I also won the pitch competition that concluded the program. This incredible opportunity led to an invitation to be a premier vendor for the 2026 Washington Commanders Training Camp. Overall, my experiences with the organization have been truly amazing. Thank you for such a rewarding opportunity."
