Strauss Troy in the Community

Commitment to community is very important to us here at Strauss Troy, and being a community member means more than just providing legal services to people in the Cincinnati area. Each year, we sponsor and support at-risk populations, arts and entertainment, health and wellness, and new business – all causes important to the local community.

Supporting local business growth through Market on the Square

For 14 years, Strauss Troy has served as the title sponsor of Market on the Square, Cincinnati’s al fresco lunch hour featuring local food trucks and vendors. Strauss Troy Market runs every Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. during April – October.

Supporting at-risk students through Inner City Youth Opportunities

Our Make a Difference (MAD) team, formed by a group of employees more than 25 years ago, rallies to support at-risk students, less privileged families, and other important families throughout the year. For more than a decade, Strauss Troy’s MAD team has sponsored children from Cincinnati’s Inner City Youth Opportunities (ICYO) to attend summer camp at YMCA Camp Ernst in Burlington, KY. The children participate in traditional camp activities including kayaking, horseback riding, fishing, crafts and sports, and they also have the opportunity to try new and exciting adventures like the water trampoline, zip line, Burma bridge and aquacycles. Attending Camp Ernst allows the kids to make friends with other campers from all areas of Ohio and Kentucky.
