UC: Bearcats Fans Can Help The Victims Of Hurricane Harvey
http://gobearcats.com/news/2017/8/28/gen...arvey.aspx
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics stands with our longtime partners at the University of Houston and the City of Houston.
Houston has faced unprecedented devastation as the result of Hurricane Harvey. UH is a longtime conference partner of Bearcats Athletics, dating back nearly 60 years when both schools were members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Since that time, the two schools have faced each other on the field as independents, in the MVC, Conference USA, BIG EAST and now the American Athletic Conference.
"During challenging times it is important to stand together with our league partners," Director of Athletics Mike Bohn said. "We are keeping our friends in Houston in our thoughts during this time and wanted to raise awareness for disaster relief to show our support for their University. Houston is deserving of support and it's a great way for UC to do a little part to help those in need."
Bearcats fans interested in helping our league partners are encouraged to look into the following options:
// AMERICAN RED CROSS
