The Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton raised and is donating $29,960.35 for the battle against breast cancer. During this season of hope and giving, Tanger is making its local donation to LRGHealthcare during a special ceremony at LRGHealthcare.

“It takes all of us working together with a common focus and determination to find a cure for this terrible disease,” stated Steven B. Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer for Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. “I am proud of our Tanger Team members in Tilton for their continued hard work in fighting breast cancer, and I thank our shoppers for supporting Tanger’s mission to find a cure.”

Tanger’s 2013 PinkStyle Campaign ran from September 12 through October 25, with funds being raised through the sale of the popular TangerStyle Pink Card. For a $5 donation to local breast cancer beneficiaries, Tanger customers received five special pink savings cards that provided 25% bonus savings at participating Tanger Outlet stores.

In addition to the sale of Pink Cards, Tanger raised money to fight breast cancer through the fifth annual Fit For A Cure 5K Run/Walk in September. Over 900 participants and more than 25 businesses sponsored this year’s race to benefit breast cancer awareness initiatives at LRGHealthcare.

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 has donated over $13.5 million to fight breast cancer nationally.

“The doctors and staff at LRGHealthcare understand and value the importance of early detection in regard to breast cancer and other cancers. Funds raised from this year’s Tanger 5K and PinkStyle Campaign will help LRGHealthcare as we continue to provide state-of-the-art technology to patients right here in the Lakes and Three Rivers Regions,” states LRGHealthcare President and CEO Tom Clairmont. “We are extremely grateful to General Manager Eric Proulx and the entire Tanger team for their dedication and generosity.”

The Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton features more than 55 brand name and designer outlet stores. The Tanger center is located off Exit 20 on I-93 in Tilton.
