Mark Krohn

United Way of Summit County's Young Leaders Society is pleased to announce the 2011 Young Philanthropist of the Year Award winner. The award was created to recognize young philanthropists who have demonstrated a passionate desire to help others through financial support of United Way and service to area non-profits. Mark Krohn, the 2011 Young Philanthropist of the Year, embodies those ideals. Mark and his wife Lori are Tocqueville donors to United Way of Summit County, proving that 'they put their money where their heart is.'

Mark has also served as a Board member for United Disability Services, Habitat for Humanity, and the Akron Rotary Camp. But Mark isn't satisfied to just serve on a board; in all three instances he has taken on Executive Leadership roles, including a term as President of the Board for the Rotary Camp. Mark is a graduate of Leadership Akron (Class XIX), and a 2008 recipient of the Greater Akron Chamber's '30 For The Future' award. Mark is a partner in the law firm Brennan, Manna, Diamond, and he lives in Akron with his wife Lori and their daughters Alex and Nicole.
