Become a Bicentennial Champion

Help Us Make History 

Be Bold. Be Proud. Be Cincinnati. 

The Bicentennial is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and we want you to be part of history!

The University of Cincinnati traces its origins to the 1819 founding of Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio (the forerunner to today’s UC College of Medicine); January 2019 marked the 200th anniversary of the signing of both institutions' charters.

Your generous support will help us Honor the Past, Elevate the Present, Bend the Future and Make History. An investment of $1,819 or more in this landmark celebration offers the opportunity to leave a legacy as a Bicentennial Champion.

Permanent Recognition – Generous contributions of $1,819 or more will receive permanent recognition on our Bicentennial Time Capsule to be featured prominently within Fifth Third Arena, inspiring generations to come. It’s a legacy with ripple effects over many years and throughout the UC family. 

Celebratory Recognition – Your support includes acknowledgment through various platforms during the year long celebration. You will be honored and recognized at Bicentennial Signature Events, as well as through other digital and print opportunities.
