Savage Arms announces its continued partnership with Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors. The 501(c)-3 nonprofit is dedicated to its mission of providing mentorship and resources to children interested in outdoor sports. The organization’s goal is to immediately increase the number of outdoorsmen and women today, so that the industry, and its conservation efforts, have a support system in place to thrive in the future. Savage supports Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors to support more growth towards the shared mission values of conservation, safety and community.
“Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors encompasses everything Savage strives to support as they educate kids on the experiences, safety and ethical practices of the outdoor sports world,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing for Savage Arms. “A safe and ethical outdoorsman or woman is a responsible firearm owner, and these mentors work diligently to provide guidance. We’re happy to support their efforts as they mentor a new generation of outdoorsmen and women.”
Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors meet their mission goals by organizing events, fundraising and bolstering community support across the United States. In the last year, the organization more than doubled the number of hunts they organized, engaging over 1,000 youth. In addition to this success, Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors and their Shooting Sports Outreach Program has had great results. This program partners mentors with state high school shooting programs, and has helped to continue to invigorate a growing sport while also introducing more participants into the outdoor world.
“Continued support from Savage Arms is greatly appreciated. Their generosity will equip us to push our mission forward and reach the goals we have set for the year,” said Brittany French, CEO for the Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors. “When we all work together to try to move the needle in this industry, great things can happen. Savage Arms is an incredible partner to serve youth in the outdoors.”
