BISBEE WOMAN’S CLUB ANNOUNCES EVENT SUCCESS: ALL PROCEEDS TO RETURN TO THE COMMUNITY

The Bisbee Woman’s Club celebrates the success of the annual Home Tour and Art Auction fundraiser: the $31,152.75 raised will be divided equally into three categories. Funds will return directly to the Bisbee community in the form of scholarships, grants, and the maintenance of our 123-year-old Clubhouse.

​

The dual event requires a truly unbelievable amount of effort, but the women of the BWC know their labors enable the Club to further our goal of a stronger Bisbee, through scholarships and grants awarded locally. Scholarships include a “young woman of the month” program, which honors high-achieving Bisbee High School women; those who have received that recognition can apply for scholarships for continuing education. Another category of scholarship is open to anyone in the community who wishes to further their education for undergraduate, graduate, or professional certification. Grants are awarded to individuals or groups in the community through a rigorous rating process: proposed projects must benefit the Bisbee community and further the mission of the BWC.

 

Funds will also go toward the preservation of the BWC Clubhouse: listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is the oldest women’s club-owned building in the state and one of the oldest in the nation. It is used by groups beyond the BWC, as it is available for rent by community members. We have  hosted groups such as the Fiber Arts Guild, the Friends of the Copper Queen Library, Mule Mountain Democrats, Rural Arizona Engagement (RAZE), and The Bisbee Foundation, and theatrical performances, weddings, and family parties. The Club donates the use of the building when it hosts the For the Love of Music program.​​​​​​
