GONZALES – For the 15th year, Tanger Outlet Centers nationwide are asking its shoppers to think pink in the battle against breast cancer. In Gonzales, Tanger shoppers can join in the campaign to save lives by purchasing a 25% Pink Card September 17 through October 19, 2008. For a $1 donation each, Tanger shoppers will receive a special Pink Card that will give them a 25 percent discount at participating outlet stores at Tanger centers across the country. The Pink Cards will be available at the Tanger Customer Service Center and online at tangeroutlet.com. Proceeds from sale of the 25% Pink Cards will stay in the community by benefitting the American Cancer Society-Mid-South Division.
“Working closely with our retail partners, we will continue the battle to put an end to the terrible disease,” stated Stanley K. Tanger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. “We remain committed to the fight. It is our goal to fund the research necessary to put an end to breast cancer in our lifetime,” he added.
During 2008, Tanger has also expanded its fund-raising efforts to include the fight not only breast cancer but also lung, colon and prostate cancer. Each time a Tanger shopper purchases the Tanger “Cure Card,” a specially designed gift card, Tanger will donate 10 percent of the purchase price to fight these cancers. The Tanger Cure Card will be available through December 31, 2008 and can be purchased at Shopper Services and online at tangeroutlet.com.
