CSC's Annual Dinner & Auction is an evening of dancing, dining, live and silent auctions, games, and more! This is CSC's largest fundraiser and is organized and coordinated by the Catawba Science Center Guilda group of passionate individuals who help with CSC's fundraising projects. Doors open before dinner for guests to enjoy themed games to win prizes, get drinks, and bid on silent auction items. Dinner is served in the ballroom and typically includes wine, salad, entrée, bread, and dessert followed by a live auction and entertainment! During the dinner guests can participate in popular games. Each year Catawba Science Center highlights an internal project that needs particular attention called Fund-A-Cause. The Fund-A-Cause project for 2024 will focus on funding the return of CSC’s FlutterBy Butterfly Habitat, raising the necessary funds to bring back this local favorite.
