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 Fridays winner is Mulberry Elementary!
"What a great way for the first graders to celebrate individual growth in reading than having a visit from our own UC Mascot, where one day some of the students will pursue their educational dreams while attending UC themselves!" Tammy Ruehrwein said.
Mulberry Elementary is a neighborhood school in Milford Exempted Village Schools with K-6 grade students. The First Graders have recently completed their last monthly reading incentive program and are celebrating with a First Grade Picnic. The First Graders will take part in crafts, games and visits from their own Eagle Mascot, and the UC Mascot who will hand out prizes to the students.
HOW DOES BEARCATS FRIDAY WORK?
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.
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.
