PROUD PARTNER: STRUGGLE BEARD BAKERY SUPPORTS THE MISSION

The DOS Foundation proudly recognizes Struggle Beard Bakery and owner Quinton McNair for his continued support of the Creative Intelligence Program (CIP).

CIP participants Laila and Chidera had the opportunity to work alongside Quinton, assisting with the fulfillment of a large bakery order. This hands-on experience reflects exactly what our program is about—learning through real work, showing up with professionalism, and contributing in meaningful ways.
