Bicentennial Bites: April

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.

April's Bicentennial Bites partner is Currito. Every time somebody posts a photo of their food from any Currito restaurant around Cincinnati on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, and used #bicentennialbites and #currito, Currito will donate a dollar to the UC Scholarship Fund.

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?
