with If you and/or your organization are wanting to help get more kids the chance to enjoy the outdoors that we all know and love, please consider partnering with Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, Inc. Basically, we need two things.
Like every non-profit organization, we need the financial resources that will allow us to continue the work we are doing. Operational expenses, overhead, and events all require $$'s to make it happen. The National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation were the first to step forward with financial assistance to help get the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program rolling in 2002, contributing a combined $400,000 to-date. Pheasants Forever chapters have supported the program on a local basis in Kansas, donating over $30,000 to-date. The RMEF PAC has donated over $15,000 and the NWTF has donated $7,500 in Kansas. It takes this and much more to allow us to begin expanding the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors program on a nation-wide scale. And we need volunteers. We need volunteers who will step up and become mentors. And we need volunteers who can assist with scheduling/planning/hosting events that will allow us to give children opportunities to learn about and experience the outdoors. For example, the Custom Rod Builders Guild has members across the country who are volunteering to hold fishing rod building classes for our matches. Pheasants Forever chapters are inviting BBBS Littles and matches to participate in mentor hunts. The National Wild Turkey Federation is offering free JAKES memberships to BBBS Littles interested in the outdoors. Outfitters and guides like Tim Telinde from Tallgrass Outfitters hosts a youth hunt for BBBS Littles. Dan Bell from Bell Wildlife Services has hosted a youth turkey hunt for the last four years, providing wonderful memories for both the Bigs and Littles involved. Charlie Stowe has hosted matches for an afternoon of striper fishing on Lake Texhoma. The Z Bar Ranch has hosted deer hunts and fishing trips for the last five years. The Texas Womens Shooting Sports hosts a youth day for kids in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. To discuss how your organization can step up and help Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, give Mike Christensen a call at 316-290-8883 today. |
