TCF Bank helps kids make a wish

TCF National Bank, Wayzata, Minn., has raised more than $60,000 in 2017 for Make-A-Wish Minnesota to help make wishes a reality for children with critical illnesses. Donations were accepted at all 90 TCF Bank branches in Minnesota and collected during team member fundraising events.

“We’re passionate about helping kids and families, and knowing that our efforts make a difference is an empowering motivator for us,” said Kent Engler, director of retail banking at TCF Bank. “Our customers and team members support Make-A-Wish Minnesota because they believe all children fighting a critical illness should experience a wish come true. We’re grateful to be a small part of it.”

“The efforts made by TCF Bank help strengthen our organization and the kids and families we serve,” said Mia Broos Hoagberg, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Minnesota. “The smiles we see from children are what push us every day, and we are so thankful for TCF Bank’s commitment and enthusiasm during the past three years. With the money they’ve raised, we’ve created many smiles through more than 30 wishes.”

TCF Bank, its team members, and its customers contributed nearly $1.5 million to nonprofit organizations last year through its fundraising efforts.
