John Annoni – Dedicated to Youth & Community

Camp Compass

Camp Compass is a unified effort to introduce urban students to various outdoor activities.

Camp Compass is a nonprofit program developed for urban, disadvantaged youth by John Annoni. His staff of volunteer mentors are making a difference in the inner city by providing hunting, fishing, archery, tutoring, social guidance, and other outdoor youth activities.

Hunting Awareness

Founded by John Annoni, Hunting Awareness is a societal demonstration of solidarity for hunting.

Hunting Awareness's mission is to increase accessibility for hunting education, to improve the image of hunting and grow and unify its diverse participants.The intention of the orange camouflage ribbon is to fund and support collaboration with individuals, communities, businesses and organizations.

Two Million Bullets

Two Million Bullets is an awareness campaign to make youth the primary focal point in conservation.

The Two Million Bullets campaign’s goal is to encourage not only two million people to donate just one dollar to help introduce and teach safety to kids who would otherwise never know these much-loved activities. It was founded to honor a student who was tragically killed by gun violence.
