$30,000 needed by Aug. 1 for Woodin Avenue Landing project

CHELAN - The Historic Downtown Chelan Association (HDCA) is excited to announce the kick off to our final fundraising efforts for the Woodin Avenue Landing. The Woodin Avenue Landing is a park that will be located between Campbell’s Resort and the Old Bridge leading down to the public dock in downtown Chelan. Because this area has never been inviting, many locals do not even realize it is public space. Chelan has a limited number of public lake access points, and creating the Woodin Avenue Landing will allow us to take advantage of one that already exists. Downtown Chelan is the heart of our community, and beautifying this space will help create a stronger, more cohesive community.
 

There is currently $107,000 committed to help make this happen, but some of the committed funding is contingent upon completing the project in 2017. The HDCA must raise $30,000 by August 1 in order to break ground on Sept. 5 and finish the park in 2017. HDCA is a non-profit and all contributions are recognized by the IRS as tax-deductible. All donors will be recognized on a donor plaque located within the park. If you’d like to leave a legacy with a donation to the Woodin Avenue Landing, please call or email HDCA at hdca@nwi.net or 682-4322.
 

HDCA would like to thank the City of Chelan and Lake Chelan Rotary for their partnership on this project.
 

Woodin Avenue Landing is the first phase in a multiple phase project called the Gateway Park Project. Any additional money raised during this fundraising campaign will be rolled into the second phase of the Gateway Park Project, which is the area in between B.C. MacDonald’s and Campbell’s Resort Park Room.
