The board of directors for the Downtown Waynesville Association, a non-profit organization founded in 1986, decided to give a legacy gift to the town, a new steel arch spanning three lanes of traffic to be installed near the police department.

The cost for the arch is $174,000, plus $10,000 for drilling and installation. DWA has $60,000 so we must raise $125,000.

We only have four months to do it.

There are three levels of giving that will receive recognition:

Crown Level:

Crown donors contribute at least $5,000, and will be honored by their names inscribed on a bronze plaque on the Arch supports.

Keystone Level:

Keystone donors have contributed at least $2,500 to the project.

Rise Level:

Rise donors have contributed at last $1,000 toward the arch.
