The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcats Friday. The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics has developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year. Over the last four months over 35 companies and 6200 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 on Fridays. 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.
This week, the Department of Athletics announces this week's winner of Bearcats Friday, CINCO Credit Union.
"When I came across the 'Bearcat Fridays,' I thought this would be a great opportunity to show our support for UC and to get our name out there for the faculty, staff and students to see. We are the official credit union for UC and Bearcat Fridays is a great way to show our support and gratitude for the University!" says Kelly Vogt of CINCO Credit Union.
'CINCO Credit Union has all the "banking" services you, your family, and your business need. But we're not a bank. We're a credit union. So what's the difference? Like all credit unions, CINCO is a not-for-profit cooperative. CINCO is owned and controlled by all the people it serves. And "not-for-profit" means just that - earnings go right back to members through more services, better rates, and more free services. CINCO has been the credit union for the University of Cincinnati since 1976. However, most new members are eligible for membership in CINCO because they live, work, or attend school in Hamilton, Butler, or Clermont counties. Go to our web site www.cinco.org or call us at 513.281.9988 for more information'.
If you would like to participate in Bearcats Fridays, here's how it works:
Register your business/group by registering here.
Wear something UC branded or at least red and black on each Friday.
Your business/group will be listed as a Bearcats Friday participant in UC athletics communications such as our electronic newsletter, C-Mail.
Your business/group will receive a sign to display showing your support to our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and that you are a proud member of Bearcats Nation! Your business/group will also be eligible in drawings, featuring the Bearcats Friday Business of the Week.
Business of the Week winners will receive a UC gift basket, and a possible visit from the Bearcats' mascot. We will also take a picture of your group and post it on the Bearcats Friday page at GoBEARCATS.com. Even if you do not win the weekly drawing, please send in pictures of your group and we will post them on the Bearcats Friday page to show your support.
