Federal Ammunition ® renewed their sponsorship of the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program, giving more children the opportunity to experience the great outdoors.
Wichita, KS, March 25, 2021. Federal Ammunition has renewed their sponsorship commitment to help expand and grow the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program that gives children the opportunity to experience the great outdoors.
“Federal Ammunition has long been a key partner of Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, helping us give youth with little or no connection to the outdoors the opportunity to hunt and fish,” stated Mike Christensen, Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors President. “Our Shooting Sports Outreach program has more than doubled in size and scope over the last year, and we did that in spite of the COVID pandemic. We are only able to make these aggressive strides due to the support of our sponsors, like Federal Ammunition.”
“These investments, such as our sponsorship with Pass It On, are efforts made to help conserve our hunting and shooting sports heritage, ensuring future generations will enjoy the great outdoors,” said Jon Zinnel, Federal Ammunition’s Youth Shooting Sports Manager.
Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors partners with state fish and wildlife agencies, conservation organizations and youth organizations to give at-risk children outdoor opportunities they would not have had otherwise. “Too many children today never get the chance to experience the great outdoors we all know and love. When you hear a youngster say they’ve never seen a cow or been on a dirt road, you know we must step up our efforts to get these children opportunities to get outdoors,” stated Christensen.
“Partnering with Federal Ammunition has allowed us to plan and coordinate over 200 hunts just this year with many more on the calendar. Because of our partnership with Federal, over 500 youth have been able to go out and hunt with us in Kansas and Iowa. We are excited to see how many more youth we can get out hunting and fishing with Federal’s continued support.”
