The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday winner. The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department 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.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL in Clifton! The BEARCAT mascot visited University Hospital last Friday to deliver UC items to employees wearing red and black.
"Having the American Heart Association in conjunction with University Hospital has been a great partnership," said American Heart Association representative Jennifer Hauck. "We enjoyed having the Bearcat and the UC Marketing Staff assist us in our annual WEAR RED DAY and give out door prizes to hospital employees wearing red."
University Hospital is a UC affiliated hospital located in Clifton on east campus. The American Heart Association is the largest voluntary health organization fighting heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases contribute to more than 1.4 million deaths annually, including more than 30,000 Ohio residents.
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.

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.
