The TB1 Fund is a charitable organization dedicated to brightening the days of patients and families at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. Inspired by Braxton (Brax), a courageous young fighter who has spent over 200 nights on Floor 5 battling B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, the TB1 Fund seeks to create meaningful moments that uplift spirits and support recovery — mentally, physically, and emotionally. Through engaging experiences, curated items, and impactful partnerships, the TB1 Fund works to bring comfort, joy, and inspiration to patients when they need it most.
Guided by Brax’s firsthand understanding of the healing power of spaces like Kyle Rudolph’s End Zone, the Zucker Family Suite and Studio, and the "Row The Boat" Fleck Family Fund, the TB1 Fund is committed to making a lasting difference for families facing serious illness.
Matt Ditzler has been a leading real estate professional in the Twin Cities for over 20 years and currently serves as an associate broker at Engel & Völkers Minneapolis. Matt specializes in commercial real estate representation, while his son Jack, who joined Engel & Völkers two years ago, manages the residential real estate operations along with overseeing the marketing and social media initiatives for The Ditzler Group. The Ditzler Group is honored to partner with The TB1 Fund in supporting M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital.
This cause is deeply personal, as both of Matt’s sons, Evan and Jack, received outstanding care at Children’s Hospital during their early years. This impactful experience fuels The Ditzler Group's ongoing dedication and passion to support the hospital’s mission and the families it serves.
Since our brand’s beginning in 1977 as a specialty boutique providing exclusive, high-end real estate services in Hamburg, Germany, Engel & Völkers has become one of the world’s leading companies specializing in the sale and lease of premium residential and commercial property, yachts, and private aviation.
Engel & Völkers Minneapolis opened its doors in August of 2015, bringing this global network and exclusive level of service to residents of the Twin Cities. Engel & Völkers Minneapolis wants you to count on them for the most luxurious and unmistakable real estate experience available. But we are so much more than a real estate firm. Hidden beneath all the beautiful homes, company meetings, advertising efforts, and market shifts, lies the true reason we exist. It’s just good people, wanting to do good for others.
With the support of past events and an amazing network of supporters, we have raised more than $290,000 for philanthropic organizations over the past nine years.
