In Special Recognition

Ed Fitzpatrick

Ed has been in the car business for 36 years and has distinguished himself for the past 18 years as a car dealer.

As President of Fitzpatrick Dealership Group, Ed opened the Coliseum Lexus (located in the New Business Development Center of Oakland) in November 2002. During the groundbreaking ceremonies. Ed made a commitment to community which was demonstrated in a $10,000 donation to the East Oakland Youth Development Center. Each year since, Coliseum Lexus has  donated at least $10,000 to support EOYDC  programs.

“Ed really has his heart in the community and wants to be an integral part of it. He thinks it’s very important to share and give back. As a human being, he is a divine entity.”
Wally Trebick, General Manager Coliseum Lexus

"Its uncommon for a local business to make a commitment to community before they are even open for business, but Ed Fitzpatrick is not your garden variety contributor.  He believes in working side by side creating opportunities for others. He puts his money where his mouth is.... over and over."

Regina Jackson, Executive Director EOYDC
