Bicentennial Bites: October
Celebrating 200 Years as Cincinnati's University
In celebration of the University of Cincinnati’s 200-year anniversary, we are proud to announce Bicentennial Bites.
In 2019, UC will partner with select Cincinnati restaurants, each on a monthly basis, to provide a special deal or commemorative item for all Boldly Bearcats. When you purchase the specialty item, a portion of the proceeds will come back to UC to support scholarships. Now that’s #boldlybearcat.
Gaslight Bar and Grill is October’s featured “Bicentennial Bites” partner. Gaslight will return a portion of the month’s proceeds to UC to fund scholarships.
Want to participate? Use #bicentennialbites and #boldlybearcat on social media when you enjoy your Bicentennial Bites and be entered to win a prize!
