The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics 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 seven months over 35 companies and 6200 employees across the country are involved in this program. THIS WEEK's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS DesignArtFive!
DesignArtFive is a young, creative group that brings together the unique strengths and talents of five former DAAP graduate students under one umbrella. We offer services ranging from art education curricula, community programming, youth art camps, creative process and idea development to art workshops in various media. Our mission is to bring the arts to a broader audience via our wide ranges of expertise. Our services cater to the needs of our clients. For more information, please contact our DesignArt Programming Coordinator, Jacquelyn Sommer at jacquelynsommer@me.com or Director, Jeannette Elliott at jelliottstudio@aol.com.
"We are huge fans of the UC Bearcats, and remaining connected to UC is an important element of DesignArtfive. Emily Dietrich sold programs at the UC football games last fall and we were thrilled to watch UC Men's Basketball play last weekend. DesignArtfive is enjoying watching Bearcat basketball this season and looks forward to another successful football season in the fall. Explaining to clients why we might all be wearing red and black on the same day gives us the chance to promote the Bearcats and express our UC pride. Thank you for the opportunity to convey our dedication to and enthusiasm for our beloved Bearcats," says DesignArtFive Director, Jeanette Elliott.
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.
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.
