MATCHING GIFT

IT'S ECHO'S MEMBERSHIP MATCHING GIFT TIME! ECHO's Open Door Community Access Program Runs November 15 - January 31, 2012

ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center has the perfect gift giving idea! Buy an annual membership to ECHO and ECHO will give an equally valued membership to a needy Vermont family via our partners at more than 36 social service agencies. The “You Give, We Give.” program removes economic and social barriers so that more Vermonters can explore and learn about the Ecology, Culture, History and Opportunity for stewardship of Lake Champlain

How to Participate: From November 15, until January 31, 2012, any purchase or renewal of ECHO Memberships will be matched with a donation of memberships to local individuals and families in need. Each year ECHO distributes over 1500 memberships through this program. This simple and thoughtful act can help make the holiday season — and the new year — that much brighter for all.

An ECHO Membership is not only a gift to the community, it’s a great “green gift” as well.  Steve Perkins, ECHO's Director of Development, says, "Where else can you give a gift to a needy neighbor, a gift to your own family, and support the stewardship of our beautiful and important Vermont environment all with one action? Now is the best time to buy and renew!"

Memberships range from $35 per individual to $120 for a large family. Besides year-round admission to all of ECHO’s exhibits and events, Members also receive invitations to exclusive pre-opening exhibit events; discounts at ECHO’s Eclectic Gift Shop and ecologically themed Café; plus free admission to over 310 other science centers around the country! Current ECHO Members whose Membership expires after January 31, 2012, can also take advantage of this special opportunity — the balance of their Membership will be credited to their account.

The Membership Matching Gift is part of ECHO’s Open Door community access program, made possible through partnerships with social service agencies, an EPA matching grant, and generous community donations. To become a member and make another membership of equal value available to our social service agency partners, click on the "Become a Member" button above.
