Huntington National Bank donates $500,000 to patient fund at M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis

Sep. 2—Huntington National Bank, a newcomer to the Twin Cities market, has donated $500,000 to M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis to help the families of pediatric patients facing life-threatening diseases or severe mental health challenges cover day-to-day expenses.

The gift will establish the Huntington Bank Emergency Assistance Fund, which will assist patient families with travel and living expenses ranging from $100 gas cards to $1,500 rent or mortgage assistance.

Other potential assistance may include out-of-pocket drug and medical expenses, lost wages, childcare and car repair. Huntington, based in Columbus, Ohio, acquired Detroit-based TCF Bank in June.
