Have you ever wanted your family to be a part of something bigger than you ever imagined? Have you ever wanted to say “We have walked with giants and become a legend”? Do you ever wonder if people will remember your family when they are gone not just by name, but for their great actions? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, we want to welcome you to become a part of our ‘Walk of Legends’ at the Greenwood Hotel Complex. We want to welcome you to leave your lasting mark and your legacy behind for generations to remember.
We are on a mission to endow the future of the Greenwood Hotel; a community centerpiece in downtown Eureka, Kansas. We have learned from history and we do not dare repeat it. Over $1.2 million have been invested in the restoration of this iconic place, and we want to ensure a massive overhaul will never have to be done again. By creating an endowment fund for the Hotel we can be assured there will always be funds available for various maintenance projects.
If you ready to leave your mark on our “Walk of Legends”, here is how to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime collection of history. First, click here to complete our donor form. You may email your donor form to gwhotelmarketing@gmail.com, or mail it directly to the Greenwood Preservation Society at P.O. Box 301, Eureka, KS 67045. Please enclose a personal check with your donor form. Lastly don’t forget to consult with your tax preparer. A contribution to a non-profit organization can provide great tax benefits.
For your generous contribution of $500 your family name, logo or brand will be engraved on a 16”x16” terra cotta red granite tile as pictured above. These sidewalk tiles will be permanently placed in front of the Greenwood Hotel as a symbol of our appreciation to your family, and as a symbol of your dedication to the future our community. This project will not only build an endowment, but also enrich the history of Greenwood County. By participating in our “Walk of Legends,” folks for generations to come will be able to stroll in front of the Greenwood Hotel, look down and remember the historic legends that helped keep the “Grand Princess of the Prairie” a remarkable place to gather and conduct business.
