WAYZATA, Minn. & MINNEAPOLIS -- (Business Wire)
TCF National Bank (TCF Bank), a subsidiary of TCF Financial Corporation
(TCF) (NYSE: TCB), today announced that it raised more than $50,000 for
Make-A-Wish Minnesota. Donations were accepted at all 98 TCF Bank
branches in Minnesota and collected during team member fundraising
events. During the past two years, TCF Bank customers and team members
donated more than $150,000 to the organization.
“No child should have to battle a life-threatening condition and no
family should have to choose between medical expenses or family
experiences,” said Kent Engler, director of retail banking at TCF Bank.
“Every two years our team members in Minnesota vote to fundraise for two
nonprofit organizations and this year they committed to fundraise for
Make-A-Wish Minnesota through 2018. We hope our fundraising efforts help
to provide experiences for children and families that last a lifetime.”
“It’s organizations like TCF Bank that help dreams come true for
children with life-threatening illnesses,” said Mia Broos Hoagberg,
president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Minnesota. “We are humbled by TCF
Bank’s team members and customers who have supported us and will
continue to support us through 2018.”
In addition to supporting Make-A-Wish Minnesota through fundraising
efforts, the bank invites Make-A-Wish children to be TCF Bank Kickoff
Kids at University of Minnesota football games at TCF Bank Stadium®.

About Make-A-Wish Minnesota
Make-A-Wish Minnesota grants the
wishes of Minnesota children with life-threatening medical conditions to
enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. According to a
2011 U.S. study of wish impact, most health professionals surveyed
believe a wish-come-true can have positive impacts on the health of
children. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their
illnesses, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the
entire family. With the help of generous donors and more than 700
Minnesota volunteers, Make-A-Wish Minnesota grants a wish somewhere in
the state every 27 hours. It has granted nearly 5,000 wishes since its
inception in 1982. Visit Make-A-Wish Minnesota at mn.wish.org
