Bicentennial Bites: February

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.

February's Bicentennial Bites partner is Share: Cheesebar, a Pleasant Ridge cheese shop owned by UC alumna Emily Frank, A&S ’96. Share will be donating 20 percent of the proceeds of their six-piece combo (3 meats + 3 cheeses) back to UC scholarships this month only.

What is Bicentennial Bites, you ask?

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.

Want to participate? Use #bicentennialbites and #boldlybearcat on social media when you enjoy your Bicentennial Bites and be entered to win a prize.

Can't get enough Bicentennial?
