Meet our Volunteers: Kris Olson

April 26, 2013

Meet our Volunteers: KrisWe’re celebrating National Volunteer Week by introducing you to a handful of our amazing volunteers! Today we’re profiling Kris Olson, who may have very well been our FIRST volunteer at Pablove HQ! Here’s what we learned about Kris in a recent interview:

I discovered The Pablove Foundation by…
Attending a benefit show at the Avalon with Band of Horses back in 2009.

I volunteer for The Pablove Foundation by…
Serving as the lead volunteer coordinator for events like True Pablove and the Pablove Shutterbugs group classes and helping at the symposium and gallery shows. (Ed. note – this is just the icing on the cake…Kris has been an integral member of the Pablove team for the past three years!)

My go-to, can’t-live-without treat is…
Pretty much anything lemon-flavored.

My favorite YouTube video of all time is…
Bless You Boys! http://youtu.be/2GrY8AyH3JQ

When I’m not fighting childhood cancer with love I am…
Watching Detroit Tigers baseball, spending time with family and friends, or working as a production manager for film + tv.

My formula for happiness is…

  • Good coffee
  • Detroit Tigers and Red Wings victories
  • Having a job I love
  • Spending time with my niece and nephew
  • Traveling to new places and meeting new people

I fell in pablove with The Pablove Foundation when…
Hearing Jeff speak at that benefit show only a few months after the loss of Pablo, and learning how he and Jo Ann and Grady turned a tragedy into a mission of love.
