Bicentennial Bites: March
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.
March's Bicentennial Bites partner is Cactus Pear, Cincinnati's premier Southwestern Bistro. Cactus Pear will offer a dollar off any fajitas sold 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.
