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 to personally thank the local Target team in
Orlando for pulling together during an incredibly difficult and
emotional time to do everything they can to help the community. On
behalf of everyone at Target, I offer my deepest condolences to the
families and friends of those lost during Sunday’s tragedy and am
honored to make this donation to help all those affected.”
On Tuesday, Target teams across the country observed a moment of
silence in honor of all of the victims. In addition, teams in
Orlando donated food and water to first responders, as well as
those waiting in line to give blood to help survivors. Target also
offered space outside a nearby store to serve as a command center
for law enforcement.
