Green Bay, Wis. – February 13, 2025 – Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) ("Associated") is strengthening its commitment to the St. Louis community by joining forces with the Home Builders and Remodelers (HBR) organization.
As part of HBR’s newly established charitable educational foundation, Associated Bank is sponsoring The Home Builders and Remodelers Charitable and Educational Foundation’s collaboration with Make-A-Wish Illinois and Make-A-Wish Missouri/Kansas. This initiative supports the 2025 Wish Home project, which aims to make a meaningful impact in the lives of critically ill children.
“We love this community and have been present in the Southern Illinois market since 1997, as well as in the St. Louis market for 20 years,” said Shawn McCutcheon, Community Bank president for St. Louis and Metro East Market. “Our colleagues call this area home and work hard to give back, volunteering thousands of hours for critical community initiatives. We recognize that our success is tied to the well-being of the communities we serve, and this partnership is a powerful way to support our neighbors.”
A key highlight of this initiative is the 2025 Wish Home 1st Annual Home Raffle, which will generate funds to support children in the bi-state area and fulfill their wishes. The home, valued at more than $500,000, will be raffled off live on KTVI Fox 2 on April 29, National Wish Day.
Anchored by a key Midwestern city, St. Louis, the market is a natural extension of Associated’s growing footprint across the region. St. Louis represents Associated Bank’s sixth-largest metropolitan area, and its first branch is opening in the St. Louis area in April 2025. This partnership aligns with Associated Bank’s long-standing commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates.
