GULFPORT (GG) —
The Mississippi Power Foundation has partnered with Mississippi Aquarium to launch Mississippi Power Discovery Days – a new program where Mississippi Power customers can visit the aquarium for half the price.
Mississippi Power customers can receive 50% off their general admission tickets for up to four guests between Feb. 16 and March 9.
“Our commitment to our customers goes beyond providing reliable energy. The Mississippi Power Foundation is here to collaborate with partners that strengthen our communities every day,” said Mississippi Power Foundation Executive Director Steven Dick. “Our continued partnership with Mississippi Aquarium gives children and adults alike an opportunity to discover the importance of conservation and natural science – keeping the next generation interested in the wildlife and ecosystems that make southeast Mississippi unique.”
Customers from Mississippi Power’s entire service area are eligible for the discounted ticket price. Families can also participate in customer appreciation giveaways on Mississippi Power’s social media channels and learn energy-saving habits around the aquarium.
“We hope Discovery Days will help families access this tremendous educational asset right here in our backyard,” continued Dick. “We also know that when an organization like Mississippi Aquarium shines, our entire community shines with it.”
Mississippi Power customers wanting to take advantage of Discovery Days can present their Mississippi Power app, Mississippi Power Discovery Days promotional email or bill insert to the aquarium’s ticket office at time of purchase. Guests can enjoy the Discovery Days ticket discount as many times as they’d like during the program window.
“The Mississippi Power Discovery Days partnership is an example of how collaboration can engage minds and make waves. Through incredible partnerships like this one, we’re able to extend our impact far beyond our walls,” said Nicole Martz, Director of Sales and Marketing at Mississippi Aquarium. “We’re deeply grateful for our partnership with Mississippi Power. Through the Mississippi Power Foundation, guests from across the state can visit the aquarium, make lasting memories, dive into hands-on learning and gain a deeper appreciation for our local ecosystems and beyond.”
