Bearcats Athletics

As a member of the Big 12 Conference, every competitive advantage matters for our 450 plus student-athletes. Your support is vital in helping us provide the needed resources to ensure that each student-athlete has the tools they need to compete at the highest level.

ATHLETICS IMPACT FUND
The future of Cincinnati Athletics depends on the ability to recruit and retain the very best student-athletes. As the college sports landscape continues to evolve, we must rally to meet the challenges ahead. Every dollar donated to the Athletics Impact Fund up to $100,000 will be matched by the Herche Family Foundation.


UCATS will reward 5 Priority Points per $100 for every donation made to the Athletics Impact Fund during the UC Day of Giving Campaign.

Additional funds that need your support:
Gifts to Sport-Specific Funds keep our Bearcats dreaming and achieving. Each of our 18 varsity sports offer development funds created with the sole intention of elevating each team to support our mission to achieve Next Level Success. These funds will be crucial to the continued growth and development of our student-athletes and department.

UCATS will reward 2 Priority Points per $100 for every donation to Sport-Specific funds and all other Athletics funds gifts.

Please note: UC Day of Giving priority points will not be added to your account until mid-May.
