GREENSBORO, N.C., Sept. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tanger Factory
Outlet Centers, Inc. will once again offer shoppers great savings
in return for supporting the ongoing efforts to end breast cancer
during the 24th annual Tanger PINK Campaign.
The Tanger PINK Campaign launches September 29 at Tanger Outlets across
the United States and Canada. At participating retailers, every day
during the month of October, shoppers using the Shop Pink Card will
receive additional savings on the best brand name and design
fashions while helping to unite in the fight against breast
cancer.
Tanger's Shop Pink Cards offer shoppers 25% off any item at
participating stores, once per day, per store with unlimited use
through October 31, 2017. Shop Pink
Cards are available in two formats: a mobile card saved on your
phone or a physical card to save in your wallet. Tanger's Shop Pink
Cards can be purchased at any Tanger Outlets nationwide, online at
www.tangeroutlet.com/pink or on Tanger's app.
Individual centers will schedule local Pump Up the PINK events,
including 5K Walk/Runs, Pink Party Socials, and other Pink
activations to enhance the shopping experience and to shine the
light on breast cancer awareness. Tanger Outlets is also giving
away gift cards and PINK items on their social media channels for
fans throughout the month.
"We are proud to continue to support the fight against breast
cancer, and to join forces with our valued shoppers and retailers
across the United States to raise
awareness and much-needed funds for research and prevention," said
Steven B. Tanger, Chief Executive
Officer of Tanger Outlets. "We are fully committed to supporting
the hardworking scientists and doctors funded by the BCRF, with the
goal of finding a cure to a disease that has affected so many
families."
Proceeds from the campaign will support local breast cancer
organizations as well as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation
(BCRF), the nation's highest-rated breast cancer organization
according to Charity Watch and Charity Navigator. Through BCRF,
Tanger donations have directly supported pioneering studies in
breast cancer, including research conducted by Dr. Kenneth Offit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center, Dr. Katherine Nathanson at
The University of Pennsylvania, and
Drs. Elizabeth Jaffee and
Leisha Emens at Johns Hopkins University.
"Tanger Outlets has been a valued partner in the fight to end of
breast cancer," said Myra Biblowit,
President of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. "In uniting
with BCRF and supporting the world's most innovative research,
Tanger is helping to improve breast cancer diagnosis, prevention
and treatment—transforming lives every day."

cancer-related fundraising initiatives across the U.S.
