Corey and I were matched in July of 2004. His beautiful mother Crystal had reached out to BBBS PGH, and Corey and I met at Big For A Day prior to our match. Corey says that he saw me at Shadyside Giant Eagle well before this, and he knew that I'd be his brother.

We celebrated our BBBS graduation in 2013, and Corey Cutz is now a licensed barber. Thanks to BBBS PGH, we each gained a brother for life. The pandemic has slowed us down, but we enjoy adulthood together attending concerts and sporting events.

I've been working with BBBS PGH for 20 years, and I am grateful to have joined their board in 2021.

Bowl for Kids' Sake is our largest fundraiser. Here are some options to help in this effort:

• Start a team and raise a minimum of $600

And please consider becoming a Big to one of the 200 children waiting for a Big Brother or Sister.
