Big Brother of the Year: PJ Kolnik
Written by Meriah | posted in Other, Our Athletes, Workout of the Day | 17 Comments
Congrats PJ!
PJ Kolnik has been selected as the Big brother of the year. He and his Little Brother Brian have been matched for almost three years. PJ originally got involved in the program because a friend of his was already a Big and encouraged him to give it a shot. Being a mentor has been an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. He is very busy working for the MSU Alumni Foundation, but always finds time to meet with Brian on a regular basis. PJ says “the several hours a week he spends with Brian mean so much to him. This has been such a valuable investment of his time”.

Who knew that was in the box of chocolates? Congratulations!
Congrats PJ! U deserve the recognition!
PJ you are an amazing dude! It’s so awesome to see someone set the example that you do. We all would do well to take note and recognize that there is no greater thing than to give back. Thank you!

You are that man.
Way to go PJ!!!! You are an amazing person!
PJ you are such a sincere, sweet and hilarious guy. Thanks for all you do for our community!
I’m honored just to say I know you! Well done my friend
You have the greatest spirit and joyful heart. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.
SO COOL! Way to be PJ!
Congratulations PJ on an impressive and honorable recognition!
excellent PJ. There should be more Big Brothers out there!
Congratulations PJ! It’s a pleasure having your positive spirit in the gym, and I am so pleased to know you share it with others.
Wow gang, I am so encouraged by all of this. You know we are in this Crossfit Gym everyday working out butts off, while everyone around you cheers you on and tells you that there is more that you can do. I am so blessed to have a family and friends like you that are here to tell me this in the gym and outside of it too.
While the I am honored by the recognition, I would just like to say that the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization has been around a lot longer than I have and it will continue to be here for years to come. I was encouraged by one of my friends who told me I should try it out. And like most WODs, half of me wanted to quit right after I started. I am glad to have stuck with it, and I will selfishly admit that the experience has changed my life at the same time of changing my little brother Brian’s.
Brian is an awesome kid. We have been together for 3 years. He lives with his grandparents who work crazy hard to pay the bills and provide him with as many oppotunities as they can. He is not unique though because there are currently 14 girls and 20 boys on the waitlist to be matched. If you have a 1-2 hours a week that you want to see something amazing happen, call Big Brother Big Sisters up. If you have funds that you want to give, I would encourage you to support them. Do it, you won’t regret it…kind of like every crossfit WOD you have ever done. Here is the number 587-1216.
