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. Bearcat Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year.
This week's BEARCAT FRIDAY WINNER IS University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio! The BEARCAT mascot visited University Hospital on Friday, February 4th to visit with Hospital employees.
"We enjoyed having the Bearcat and the UC Marketing Staff assist us in our annual WEAR RED DAY and show their support for women's heart health," said Delesa Morris, the Director of Alumni and External Affairs, Academic Health Center at The University of Cincinnati Foundation.
Every year, University Hospital, along with others across the nation, team up for National Wear Red Day in support of the American Heart Association.
