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 five 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 University of Cincinnati is proud to announce the winner of the seventh week of Bearcat Friday is Pressley Ridge, a world wide social service agency that offer Therapeutic Foster Care, and Intensive In Home Service. For 176 years, Pressley Ridge has been helping troubled children find joy in life, become healthier and more productive, and find a place in society where they can be successful. At Pressley Ridge, we value the importance of a stellar education. For the past 12 years, we have enjoyed a partnership with the University of Cincinnati School of Social Work. We are proud supporters of the Bearcats! GO CATS! For more information, visit http://www.pressleyridge.org or call 513-559-1402.
"Growing up the only time I was allowed to stay up late was to watch a UC basketball game. I went to college and joined the band, and have been the biggest UC supporter since day one! After receiving two degrees from UC (Assoc. of Liberal Arts '04, and MSW '08), the education I've received at UC has helped me move towards my life goals. Attending Bearcat athletic events is always the highlight of my week! I always have been and always will be the number one Bearcat fan! GO CATS!", says Christina Brock, Treatment Coordinator at Pressley Ridge.
