Kansas Pass It On receives $7,500 Grant from KS RMEF PAC

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Kansas Project Advisory Committee recently approved a grant in the amount of $7,500 for the Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters Pass It On program, to be used to purchase needed equipment and gear to properly outfit Littles as they take to the field.

"This grant will help get some of the necessary gear that we need to be able take our Littles to the field and have a positive experience hunting and fishing," said Mike Christensen, Director of Outdoor Mentoring Projects for Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters. "We have earmarked these funds to provide popup blinds, camouflage clothing, game calls, hunting vests, fishing rods/reels, and ammunition."

The Pass It On program provides the fishing rods/reels, popup blinds and camouflage clothing on a loaner basis to matches and for use at BFAD events. The ammunition will be available to Littles for hunting and shooting sports activities.

"The support the Pass It On program has received from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has been fantastic," praised Mike. "We would really like to see the other conservation groups step forward like they have. If we had this kind of support from the other groups, we could make a huge difference in the lives of kids across Kansas and across the nation."
