Mitch has shown a great deal of his character through his involvement in community service. He was a founding member of the Mario St. George Boiardi ’04 Literacy Corporation, established to honor the memory of the late Mario St. George Boiardi ’04, a teammate who tragically passed away during a lacrosse game. Mitch was instrumental in establishing this non-profit corporation as it moved forward on its mission to battle children’s illiteracy in the Ithaca area. In addition to being a founding member and serving as Secretary, Mitch has been an active participant in the “Big Red Readers,” which partners with the MSGB Literacy Corporation to send Cornell athletes to Ithaca area elementary schools to promote reading.

In addition, Mitch is the Co-Publicity Chair for the 21 Run, an annual 5k run organized by the Cornell men’s lacrosse team, in conjunction with Alpha Tau Omega. Last year, the 21 Run raised more than $10,000 to support and promote children's literacy in the Ithaca community through the Family Reading Partnership. He is also a member of the Sphinx Head Honor Society, a group that recognizes members of the Cornell senior class who have given their time and passion to the university during their undergraduate years.
