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 BEARCATS FRIDAY WINNER IS Toensmeyer Architecture-Engineering! The BEARCAT mascot visited Toensmeyer Architecture Friday to deliver UC gear to employees and their families wearing red and black.
TOENSMEYER Architecture-Engineering, LTD. is a full service, local professional design firm serving clients throughout the eastern portion of the United States. The firm is lead by the two member managers and UC alumni, Thomas W. Toensmeyer, BArch '83 and Michael R. Toensmeyer, BSCE '79, MS '80. The firm provides services to a wide range of clients in the commercial, industrial, institutional, multi-family and leisure and entertainment sectors. Additional information concerning TOENSMEYER is available at www.toensmeyer.com or contact either member manager at 513-772-9303 or contact@toensmeyer.com.
"Both member managers of the firm have been Bearcat fans our entire lives. Some of our earliest memories of attending sports events with our father, uncles and cousin were of Bearcat basketball games at the Armory Fieldhouse. We have been season ticket holders to UC football games for the past eight seasons, attending with the youngest Bearcat in the family, Tom's son Andy. The three of us have enjoyed going to the bowl games as of recent, particularly the Papa John's Bowl and the Orange Bowl. And we always show our Bearcat Spirit while we travel both locally and out of town so it was obvious that we needed to be involved in Bearcats Fridays," says co-manager Mike Toensmeyer.
