Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico

Pictures don't do justice to the natural beauty of the Valles Caldera National Preserve! HUGE thank you to the awesome Caldera team and our amazing ASPNM athletes, volunteers, and staff who came together today for our inaugural adaptive fly fishing event! Hopefully the first of many at this true national treasure!

Another fantastic ASPNM weekend at Elephant Butte! ☀️🎣🚣 Sailing, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and lots of smiles were all on the agenda as athletes, families, volunteers, and staff came togther for a great weekend of watersports fun!

A huge thank you to all of the athletes, family members, volunteers, and staff who joined us and helped make the weekend such a success!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity of Jason Bass and the entire Subaru of Santa Fe team.

Thank you for your support of Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico through an extraordinary gift of $25,000. This contribution will have a powerful and lasting impact, helping us continue to provide adaptive sports opportunities, specialized equipment, and expert instruction that truly change lives.

We’re so grateful to have you in our corner 🙌

✨ More thank-yous coming all week

We have so many people to thank for making this year’s Snow Ball the most successful fundraiser in ASPNM history. We’ll be sharing our gratitude all week, and we’re kicking things off with our incredible keynote speaker, Alana Nichols, PLY.

Born and raised in Farmington, NM, Alana is a world-class, multi-sport Paralympian, advocate, and ASPNM alum whose journey reflects the power of adaptive sports, and the programs like ASPNM that help athletes reach these heights. Her resilience, honesty, and passion resonated deeply with everyone in the room, leaving a lasting impact on our community.

Thank you, Alana, for helping make the evening so meaningful!

What a day at Spring Runoff! We’re incredibly honored to have been the beneficiary.

Thanks for having us, !

Today we’re proud to recognize the inaugural National Adaptive Sports Day.

It’s a chance to celebrate what adaptive sports make possible, not just across the country, but right here at home.

At ASPNM, that shows up year-round.

On the mountain, where skiing and snowboarding create freedom, confidence, and those can’t-miss smiles.

On the wall, where athletes find strength, problem-solve, and push past what they thought was possible.

On the water, where kayaking, sailing, and paddleboarding bring a different kind of freedom, calm, and adventure.

Different places, same purpose, access and opportunity for all.

Adaptive sports aren’t just about getting outside. They’re about independence, community, and showing up fully as yourself.

We’re grateful to do this work alongside an incredible community of athletes, volunteers, and supporters.

Today, and every day, we celebrate you.

On the eve of our 2026 Snow Ball, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude on the community that makes this work possible. To our sponsors, your support goes far beyond this one evening. You are opening doors, creating access, and helping ensure that children and adults with disabilities across New Mexico have the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence, and freedom that come through adaptive sports.

Because of you, our athletes are able to get on the mountain, on the water, and out into the world with the equipment, instruction, and encouragement they deserve. You are not just supporting an event, you are sustaining a mission and changing lives in a very real way.

As we gather tomorrow night, please know how much your partnership means to all of us at ASPNM. We are truly grateful and proud to celebrate alongside you.

Thank you all!

We want to send out a big thank you to Nusenda Credit Union for supporting our adaptive rock climbing program through their Community Rewards program.

This program gives individuals with disabilities the chance to try something new, build strength and confidence, and be part of a community that celebrates every climb up the wall. We’re incredibly grateful for partners like Nusenda who help make these experiences possible.
