Tanger Outlets Rehoboth donates to fight breast cancer

The Tanger Outlet Center in Rehoboth Beach raised and donated over $29,000 for the battle against breast cancer this fall. Tanger made its local donation to the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition during a special ceremony at Tanger Outlets Dec. 17.

“Tanger is committed to supporting breast cancer research” said Steven B. Tanger, president and chief executive officer for Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. “I am proud of our Tanger team members in Rehoboth Beach for their continued hard work in fighting breast cancer, and I thank our shoppers for supporting Tanger’s mission to find a cure for this terrible disease. We are especially proud of our partnership with the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, which is the only organization in the State of Delaware focused solely on breast health issues as they affect the women and men who live in Delaware.”

Tanger’s 2012 PinkSTYLE Campaign ran September 15 to October 25 with funds being raised through the sale of the popular TangerSTYLE Pink Card.  For a $1 donation to local breast cancer beneficiaries, Tanger customers received a special pink coupon card that provided 25 percent bonus savings at participating Tanger Outlet stores.

With its primary mission to help save lives, Tanger’s Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign creates awareness for the importance of early detection and helps raise the money necessary to support ongoing breast cancer research. Tanger’s campaign also helps fund many important programs and facilities designed to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients.

Since 1994, Tanger Outlet Centers has contributed more than $14.8 million to breast cancer research through the PinkSTYLE Campaign, 5K races, and other breast cancer-related fundraising events across the country. This year, the company raised a total of $1.3 million during the PinkSTYLE campaign, which took place at 43 Tanger Outlets in the U.S. and Canada, including Tanger Outlet Center in Rehoboth Beach.
