Wichita, KS onX has agreed to partner with Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors to help expand and grow the Shooting Sports Outreach program that gives children the opportunity to experience the great outdoors.
“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. Having a partner like onX to help us in our efforts to get more kids outdoors, hunting and fishing is going to be a great asset as we work to double the scope of our program over the next year,” stated Mike Christensen, Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors President. “Partnering with organizations like onX helps us expand our reach and serve more youth while teaching them how to utilize tools that will enhance their time outdoors.”
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.
“By partnering with onX we are able to educate the youth in our community about resources that they can utilize to become efficient hunters. We are extremely thankful for the generosity that onX has provided us and we are looking forward to working with them in future!”
About onX
The call of the wild is in all of us. It provokes exploration. It propels us to ridgelines, coastlines, high crags, deep crannies — those spaces and moments when our heart forges ahead because we can’t turn back. Because we have to know. Because we must experience it for ourselves.
Whether you find yourself listening for bugles on a lonely hillside, choosing the longer trek at the fork in the trail, ripping through the desert at sunset in your SxS, or picking your ski line from the summit before the powder plunge — onX helps bring that adventure to life. Whether it’s your first step into the uncharted, or your annual backcountry trip, we unlock confidence in the unknown.
onX is home to a team of passionate explorers. We celebrate our adventures, but we don’t take them for granted. Our appreciation for wild places drives us to preserve access to the recreation that we cherish. As a company, we invest in land access initiatives to expand and protect open spaces. We believe that the more people who experience their own off-the-beaten-path awakening, the more likely they are to join us in protecting these spaces for the future.
onX products are built by adventurers, for adventurers. Our current suite of navigation apps includes onX Hunt, onX Offroad, and onX Backcountry. We believe that every adventurer needs to know where to go, to know where they stand, and to be able to share their experiences. For more information, visit https://www.onxmaps.com.
