Last year Adam Trubow ran over 100 miles in the Silverton Ultra race in Colorado as a way to raise money for causes he believes in. His campaign, which is called 100 Friends for 100 Miles, raised $22,410 for the CNM Foundation and the money went on to support many different CNM students. Those students received scholarships with no strings attached and they used the funding to finish degrees and certificates that helped them on their way to their professional goals.
Now, Adam is back at it and will be participating in the Leadville 100 Mile Trail Run this coming weekend. He’s calling this edition of his 100 Friends for 100 Miles fundraising campaign the “‘Run it Back” challenge and aims to raise money for students who are coming back to school to further their education or working to overcome a personal hardship.
“I want to help provide a second chance for students who have not been able to stay in school or had economic hardship.” he says. “Providing financial support will allow them to breathe easier and focus on school.
Adam’s overall fundraising goal for 2022 is $30,000, which is a nod to the CNM Foundation’s 30-year anniversary.
Adam, who also owns TAL Realty, a successful real estate investment firm, says he’s proud to support CNM because he knows how the college has enriched the lives of thousands of people throughout New Mexico. “The most bang for your buck is through CNM,” he says. “A lot of programs at CNM act as strong catalysts for growing our economy. Supporting CNM benefits us all.”
