Re: | Portal to Science Program |
I am writing to inform you that Catawba Science Center is updating its Portal to Science Program. As you may already know, the Portal to Science Program provides low-cost admission for qualifying North Carolina families who wish to visit Catawba Science Center.
In the past, we have worked with local social services agencies to distribute Portal to Science cards. As Catawba Science Center continues to grow, we will now plan to distribute these cards at our admissions desks rather than distributing cards to local agencies. We believe that this will make things easier on our partner agencies and also aid us in tracking program utilization, managing inventory, and collecting data from participating families so that we can keep in touch about upcoming activities and programs.
The current Porta l to Science cards expired on 9/30/19, but we will honor these cards through 10/31/19 as we work to distribute new materials to partnering agencies.
What You Need to Know About the Portal to Science Program:
To redeem Portal to Science pricing, families must provide a valid North Carolina photo ID and a benefits card (EBT, WIC, SNAP, etc.). Eligible guests may bring a total of 2 adults and any children living in their household through the Portal to Science program. Guests are free to use their Portal to Science card as many times as they would like during any of our operational hours. We require guests to present their benefits card and matching state-issued photo ID. If the photo ID does not match the benefits card, guests will not be able to redeem Portal to Science pricing.
Catawba Science Center will continue to provide Portal to Science marketing materials to local agencies. We hope that you will display these materials in your facility and continue to share information about the program with families that may be interested in visiting Catawba Science Center!
Please direct any questions or concerns regarding the Portal to Science Program to Abigail Meachem at (828) 322-8169 ext. 323 or membership@catawbascience.org. Please let us know if there are any changes to your address or contact information so that we can update our records accordingly.
Warm regards,
