The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday.
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 eight months over 35 companies and 6200 employees across the country are involved in this program.
THIS WEEK's BEARCATS FRIDAY WINNER IS Scarlet and Gray Cleaning Service! The BEARCAT mascot visited Scarlet and Gray Cleaning Service today to deliver UC gear to employees and their families wearing red and black. Don't let the name fool you---they are BEARCAT fans.
"Scarlet and Gray Cleaning Service is excited to be a part of Bearcats Friday. Managers Rich Meyer, Mike Blum, and Mark Pelzel are proud UC alums. Mark was a member of UC's track team. All of us at Scarlet and Gray enjoy following Bearcat football and basketball. UC has done a fantastic job of making a family-friendly atmosphere at pre-game activities. I've been a Bearcat fan all my life. My older brother Mark played football at UC, I grew up blocks away from UC, and remember going to watch the homecoming parade when I was a kid," says manager Rich Meyer.
Scarlet and Gray is a full service cleaning company that focuses on serving academic institutions throughout the Greater Cincinnati Area. They provide year-round daily cleaning, janitorial, and light maintenance services. For more information contact them at www.scarletandgray.biz
