Bearcats build brighter futures together — join us on Giving Tuesday
Worldwide celebration unites Bearcats to make a lasting difference
Giving Tuesday returns to the University of Cincinnati on Dec. 1, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of the Bearcat community.
From life-changing opportunities for students to groundbreaking research, compassionate care and discoveries that shape our future, the UC community makes a difference in people's lives every day.
Now, it’s your turn to be part of what’s next at UC and UC Health. When you make a gift on Giving Tuesday, you’re joining the global day of generosity, supporting the people and causes that inspire you, and helping make an even greater impact across UC and UC Health. Every gift is an opportunity to move our community forward.
One such cause is the Bearcats Pantry & Resource Center, which provides essential resources to students in need. As the program approaches its 10th anniversary, we’re reflecting on its contributions to campus, including addressing food insecurity and improving students’ quality of life. The Bearcats Pantry provides cleaning supplies, hygiene items and food staples. Over the last decade, the program has become a vital resource for students facing financial challenges. Every gift to the Bearcats Pantry helps remove financial barriers, ensuring students have the resources they need to focus on their education and thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for Bearcats everywhere to make a difference by supporting the causes closest to their hearts.
Jennifer Heisey ’97 Chief Alumni Officer
"We look forward to seeing our alumni, faculty, staff and friends come together to strengthen the university, champion student success and advance the programs and initiatives that make a lasting impact across UC and UC Health," said Chief Alumni Officer Jennifer Heisey, class of ’97.
