Adelante Hosts Successful Heroes Hiring Heroes Job Fair In conjunction with the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services and the New Mexico Workforce Connection, Adelante hosted and organized the 2010 Heroes Hiring Heroes Job Fair.

The goal of the event was to connect local veterans to jobs in New Mexico and the 2010 event was an astounding success. Over 1,000 veterans and their eligible family members attended along with 54 employers who had nearly 1,500 jobs available.

The New Mexico Department of Veterans' Services is a state agency that assists more than 180,000 veterans and their dependents in New Mexico with their state and VA veterans' benefits. Adelante offers employment services to qualifying veterans with disabilities.

Adelante marked the milestone of the agency’s 30th Anniversary with a celebration held at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque on September 27, 2008. The event was a fundraising success for the agency's programs and will be used to support people with disabilities here in New Mexico. Adelante greatly appreciates the sponsors who helped with the event including Albuquerque the Magazine, Bank of the West, Clear Channel Outdoor, Lighthouse Business Solutions, and Wells Fargo Bank. Thank you!

Run for the Hills! In Fall 2007, Adelante was the beneficiary of all of the proceeds from the annual Run for the Hills Race.

This is the 11th installation of the all-terrain race which takes place in the Albuquerque foothills. All proceeds from Run for the Hills 2007 benefited the programs at Adelante. We greatly appreciate everyone who was a sponsor, runner, walker or volunteer at the event. Your participation helps Adelante to provide employment, life skills training, therapies, and residential support for people with disabilities.

Thank you to our major sponsors: Heritage Hotels, New Mexico Bank & Trust and radio station 610 The Sports Animal.
