Cincinnati is Bearcats Proud and the University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics has developed a way for businesses and campus offices to join in on the fun and show your pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year. Over the last four weeks, over 30 companies and 1100 employees across the country are involved in this program.
Sponsored by the UC Department of Athletics, UC Office of Trademarks, and the UC Alumni Association, Bearcats fans can participate in the fun and show support by signing up and wearing UC gear. In addition to competing against other participating groups to show your colors with pride, registering will make you eligible to win prizes for your group and maybe even get a visit from the Bearcat himself.
The winner of the fourth week's contest of Bearcats Fridays is The Adams & Sams Group of Robert W. Baird & Co. located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Baird is an employee-owned wealth management, capital markets, asset management and private equity firm with client assets of more than $73 billion. Leveraging their deep expertise and broad skills, Baird is dedicated to providing the best advice and service to our individual, corporate, institutional and municipal clients.
"As a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, class of 1984, I am a proud supporter of UC Athletics. Bearcat Fridays gives me the opportunity to share this enthusiasm with my fellow co-workers. Time to bring home the Big East Title! Go BEARCATS!" -- John Adams of Robert W. Baird & Co.
