Power of Pie, our most delicious event of the year,
is here!

Pumpkin and pecan pies are available for $25 each, and pumpkin bread for $15 per loaf at www.powerofpie.org. These delicious fall treats are donated by some of North Texas’ top bakers, including Knife, Central Market, Empire Baking, Ventura Foods, Uncle Willie’s Pies, Sugar and Sage, Brook Hollow Golf Club, Northwood Club, Top Golf, CTI Foods, and Crown Block.

As one of the leading workwear brands, the team at Cintas is committed to making a difference in the communities where they work, live, and play.
