When Plans Shift, Purpose Stays the Same: Why the Children's Business Fair Was Cancelled—And What's Next
At HomeschoolED Heroes, our mission is rooted in community, connection, and showing up for the superheroes behind the homeschool cape. That’s why it’s especially hard to share this news: our inaugural Children’s Business Fair in Norfolk, originally scheduled for this summer, has been officially cancelled.
This wasn’t an easy decision. The passion, creativity, and anticipation from our team, volunteers, and especially the young entrepreneurs who registered made this one of our most exciting projects to date. But like many grassroots nonprofits just getting started, we faced some unavoidable logistical hurdles that made moving forward impossible at this time.
We’re proud of how far we came in such a short period—and we’re not giving up. This cancellation is not a failure; it’s a learning moment. It’s a pause. It’s an opportunity for us to regroup, rebuild, and reimagine how we continue to serve our community in even more sustainable and impactful ways.
In the coming months, we’ll be working behind the scenes to strengthen our foundation, recruit more helping hands, and gather the resources we need to come back even stronger. Our goal hasn’t changed—we’re still here to empower families, uplift young learners, and create spaces where education meets innovation and joy.
To every parent, child, volunteer, and supporter: thank you for believing in us. This is just the beginning.
Stay connected with us at www.homeschooledheroes.org, and let’s keep building together.
With love and purpose,
