MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced a donation of $250,000 to
the OneOrlando Fund in honor of Mercedez Flores and Luis Omar
Ocasio-Capo, two Target team members who died during Sunday’s shooting.
The OneOrlando Fund, established by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, will go to
nonprofit organizations serving victims, their families and the
community.

“We were devastated to hear the news of the horrific event in Orlando,
made even more personal by the tragic loss of two of our own team
members,” said Brian Cornell, chief executive officer, Target. “I want
