University of Cincinnati Foundation Recognized with CASE Design Award

The University of Cincinnati Foundation’s (UCF) Alumni Association and Communications teams received a gold award in this year’s Pride of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District V awards program. UCF received a gold award for excellence in design for its Loyal Bearcat Society membership acknowledgement brochure.

CASE V annually recognizes excellence in the district. The Pride of CASE V Awards showcase best practices in alumni relations, fundraising, advancement services, special events and outstanding communications. District V includes Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. 

The Loyal Bearcat Society is the University of Cincinnati Alumni Association’s (UCAA) annual giving donor recognition society. To acknowledge these annual gifts, UCAA mails a single brochure with their society membership information (e.g., benefits, welcome letter, Loyal Bearcat card, etc.). This year’s brochure was envisioned to be more creatively presented and highly visual than in years’ past.
