“I am happy to support the wonderful work of the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven and the Chabad of Shoreline,” said Boris Mizhen. “I feel very grateful for my good fortune in being able to help such a positive organization.”

New York, NY, United States, October 23, 2026 -- Boris Mizhen, a successful real estate developer and entrepreneur, has kindly been sharing his income with the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven and the Chabad of Shoreline for a long time. He paid a special interest to the Jewish Foundation’s “PACE” (Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment) fund and to the Chabad of Shoreline’s Jacob Fund. These 2 funds help provide food for local families in need.

“I am happy to support the wonderful work of the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven and the Chabad of Shoreline,” said Boris Mizhen. “I feel very grateful for my good fortune in being able to help such a positive organization.”

The PACE fund, or Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment, is a fund at the Jewish Foundation that awards the UJA-Federation annual campaign gift. These donations from Boris Mizhen, among others, help to pay for Jewish education, camps, schools, and care for the elderly and others in need, both in the New Haven area and in Israel. Mizhen’s contribution to the PACE fund was provided through the Boris Mizhen Family Trust. The Jewish Foundation has long been a trusted and expert source for establishing charitable gifts and endowments. They serve as a partner and essential resource for synagogues, local Jewish agencies, professional advisors, and donors.

The Jacob Fund is operated by the Chabad of Shoreline, in Guilford, CT, and is a charity program that provides food respectfully and discreetly for families undergoing a financial crisis, whether from being fired, illness, or other unforeseen events. The program generates food “gift cards” that may be used in select supermarkets throughout Guilford and the Greater New Haven area. Different amounts are allotted to families who may utilize the services for between two and four months, with certain exceptions made based on need. As a longtime resident of Guilford, Boris Mizhen has said he feels a responsibility to help his neighbors in the most respectable and grassroots way possible.

Boris Mizhen is a prominent real estate developer in the New York City area with projects including both residential and commercial properties across the Northeast United States. Born with a strong business instinct, Mizhen learnt at a young age to make the most of every opportunity. He enjoys spending his extra time and energy by contributing to charities and organizations that offer help to those who need it most. By pursuing his passion for philanthropic causes, Boris Mizhen remains passionately involved with social activism around the world.

Janeena Chan, Teejay Marquez make self-care a priority with BlueWater Day Spa 

Taking a break can be just as important as putting in the work. For Janeena Chan and Teejay Marquez, finding time to rest and care for themselves is a conscious choice that helps them navigate demanding schedules.   As BlueWater Day Spa ambassadors, they encourage others to make wellness a priority, from enjoying massages to establishing routines that allow the body and mind to recharge.   For Chan, an event host whose work requires adaptability and constant interaction with people, self-care means setting aside time to recover after a busy schedule. Actor and model Marquez, on the other hand, follows a routine that combines adequate sleep, exercise and regular massages to help him manage the physical demands of his profession.   Rest and reconnect   More than just delivering lines onstage, each event hosting for Chan comes with a different audience, setting and atmosphere, requiring her to prepare thoroughly while ensuring that guests remain engaged and comfortable.   “I love getting to meet different people from all walks of life and that it’s always a different setting and playground each time. As the master of ceremonies, you are responsible for the tone of the event and for the energy that you put out there,” Chan said in an interview with The Manila Times.    With the demands of her work, Chan considers scheduled breaks essential. She makes time for massages at BlueWater Day Spa, where she said treatments help ease muscle tension and discomfort.   “Scheduling days where I can be off and be allowed to relax is definitely a must. My non-negotiables are having my favorite massages at BlueWater Day Spa. Their therapists are all so well trained at removing all the knots in my tired muscles and alleviating the pain in my body,” Chan said.   When visiting BlueWater, she prefers treatments that allow her to relax without worrying about her workload. She particularly enjoys the spa’s signature Traditional Filipno massage or the Authentic Chiang Mai Thai Massage which she said helps address areas of discomfort after a hectic week.   “I usually look for massages that will really target my pain points in my body, like yung mga lamig. I love their signature hilot massage, and knowing that I can turn my brain off for a few hours and just soak in the satisfying pamper session at BlueWater Day Spa,” she said.  For Chan, spa visits are also an opportunity to spend quality time with her mother and manager, Sally Chan.   “Actually, it is my favorite bonding activity together with my mom and manager, Mommy Sally. We spend most of our time working together, so getting to be pampered together is such a treat that we always look forward to,” she said.   She added that the spa’s atmosphere makes the experience particularly enjoyable.   “The spa really sets a conducive atmosphere where we can really rest, unwind and feel rejuvenated right after,” Chan said.   Her partnership with BlueWater also reflects her advocacy for wellness and health awareness. Chan, who said she experienced Bell’s palsy 10 years ago, hopes to use her platform to encourage people to pay attention to their well-being and avoid taking their health for granted.   “I’m truly so grateful to be their new ambassador, and I feel like it’s also such a fitting partnership because I am such an advocate for wellness, being a massage and spa fan myself,” she said.    “Also, being a Bell’s palsy awareness advocate, having half my face paralyzed 10 years ago due to stress and lack of real rest, it’s all a great opportunity for me to use my voice in reminding my community to not take their health for granted and prioritize their wellness,” she added.     Building recovery into routine   Like Chan, Marquez recognizes that maintaining a demanding career requires attention to personal well-being.  “Despite all the shoots and events I attend, I always make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep daily. I also find time to work out for one to two hours and treat myself to a really good massage at least once a week to help my body recover,” Marquez said.   His approach to self-care has evolved as he has become more conscious of his health.  “For me, self-care is a reward I give myself after a series of demanding schedules. Especially now that I’m not getting any younger anymore, I’ve learned to prioritize my health and wellness,” the actor noted.   Marquez was already a regular client of BlueWater Day Spa before becoming an ambassador. He said the treatments and personalized service have kept him returning to the wellness establishment.   “Being a BlueWater brand ambassador is truly meaningful to me because it aligns with something I genuinely value: self-care, relaxation and overall wellness. This partnership is more than just representing a brand. It’s about promoting the importance of taking a step back, recharging and giving ourselves the care we deserve,” he said.    “I’m a big fan of massages, so my favorite treatment at BlueWater Day Spa is the Athlete’s Massage. It’s the perfect treatment to relieve muscle tension, help my body recover and recharge after a long day. It’s definitely one of my go-to treatments,” Marquez said.  For people who struggle to make time for themselves because of professional demands, Marquez advises putting health first. He views personal well-being as an investment that should not be sacrificed for work.   “My advice is to always prioritize your health and well-being above everything else. At the end of the day, our body is our greatest investment, especially when our work demands so much of our time and energy,” he said.    Indeed for Chan and Marquez, prioritizing wellness means recognizing that caring for oneself is essential to showing up for work, family and the people who matter.    Branches and services   BlueWater Day Spa offers a range of treatments, including Traditional Filipino Massage, Traditional Balinese Massage, Swedish Massage, Chiang Mai Thai Massage, Athlete’s Massage, and body scrubs. Hand and foot treatments are also available.   Guests may visit BlueWater Day Spa at Eton Square along Ortigas Avenue in Greenhills, San Juan (0917-815-6659), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; One Banawe Plaza on Banawe Street in Quezon City, (0947-896-5075), open daily from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.; at Estancia Mall at Capitol Commons in Pasig, at 0917-881-0092, open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
