2018 Citizens of the Year
The 2018 SCCCMH Citizens of the Year, Ed and Lisa Mitzen, were honored at the “Mental Health Matters Benefit” held at Longfellows Restaurant on May 2, 2018.
Ed Mitzen is chief executive officer of Fingerpaint Marketing in Saratoga Springs. Among his volunteer activities, Ed is the Vice Chairperson of the Double H Ranch Board of Directors. Double H Ranch is a camp for children with serious medical conditions and disabilities. Lisa is active with Rebuilding Together having served on the Board of Directors; and most recently was the 2017 Rebuilding Together Annual Dinner. Rebuilding Together Saratoga is committed to ensuring that our neighbors in need, especially those with disabilities, can live independently in safe, healthy, warm and dry homes.
Ed and Lisa Mitzen stand out to the mental health community because of their dedication and support for the Code Blue program in Saratoga. Their original connection with Code Blue came before its inception, when Fingerpaint stepped up to be the first business to contribute funds after the death of Nancy Pitts. They’ve been committed to helping since. They work at Code Blue sporadically throughout the season, usually cooking and providing meals to the guests. Lisa enjoys preparing the meals and Edhelps her serve. They especially like helping during the holidays. Ed and Lisa Mitzen, are donating an undisclosed amount money to Shelters of Saratoga so a two-story, 6,500-square-foot shelter for the Code Blue Program can be built. They have also engaged Fingerpaint employees to assist with fundraisers to help finance the Code Blue Program.
Homeless people often are living with mental health or substance abuse problems. Creating a permanent home for Code Blue as part of, and next to, the Shelters of Saratoga facility will improve access for more homeless people to get the help and assistance they need to find permanent housing, jobs and/or treatment. Ed and Lisa’s volunteer and philanthropic support of the Code Blue Program is making a difference for people living with mental illness and substance abuse in Saratoga County!
