Building Community

Please review the Economic Impact Report commissioned by Bisbee Vogue, Inc. in 2013. This report is proportionately accurate for all 32 years of the Bisbee 1000. Results showcase that nearly all facets in the Bisbee economy (and surrounding communities) are positively affected by the Bisbee 1000 to include:

   

  • Direct (hotels, restaurants, retailers, transportation)

  • Indirect (goods and services)

  • Induced (employee spending)

​

From 1990 to 2005 BVI's all-volunteer Board covered the production costs of the event while giving most of the proceeds toward stair and railing repair and refuse and debris removal and retaining the balance to produce the event for each of the subsequent years.

​

In preparation for the 1991 event, probationers, ordered by the Superior Court for community service, and supervised by probation officer Cynthia Conroy, with assistance from Public Works removed 55 tons of debris. Over the next fourteen years, a grand total of 67 tons were removed. The City of Bisbee installed handrails on all nine sets of event stairs with BVI sharing half the cost.

​

Beginning in 2006, with the unprecedented success of the Bisbee 1000, along with generous donors, and legacy bequests, Bisbee Vogue, Inc.'s community outreach and economic impact significantly expanded. Here are itemized contributions, building places and programs, from 2006 to 2023.

     

Upon sale of the event, the focus of the Board has shifted towards initiating larger-scale, high-impact projects with community partners in the pursuit of the same, founding mission: to create, promote and support initiatives that enhance the health, wellness and economic vitality of citizens of Southern Arizona.
