Tanger Surpasses $5 Million Milestone in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Funds raised by Tanger Outlets are donated locally through the Stanley K.
Tanger Breast Cancer Fund

GREENSBORO, N.C., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In 1994, Stanley K.
Tanger made a commitment to help make a difference in communities across the
United States. Today, that promise has helped Tanger Outlet Centers reach an
important milestone. As part of Tanger's 2007 Breast Cancer Awareness
Campaign, the company has now surpassed $5 million in funds raised to fight
breast cancer.
"Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Tanger employees across the
country and the support of our retail partners, we have been able to achieve
this remarkable fundraising goal," remarked Stanley K. Tanger, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. "We must
continue working to beat this terrible disease. Our hope is that each dollar
we raise brings us that much closer to finding a prevention and cure for
breast cancer," he added.
Tanger's 14th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, which took place
September 20 - October 20, 2007, raised $624,000 bringing Tanger's total funds
raised since 1994 to $5.1 million. Money was raised this year at Tanger
Outlet Centers through the sales of The Pink Card. For a $1 donation, Tanger
customers received a special pink coupon that gave them bonus discount savings
at participating Tanger stores. Tanger also supported the fight against
breast cancer this fall by donating 10% of the value of all Tanger gift cards
purchased during the campaign.
Several Tanger Outlet Centers raised even more money during the breast
cancer campaign by holding additional onsite events. Some of these activities
included a 5 K Walk at the Tanger Outlet Center in Riverhead, New York that
raised more than $25,000. In San Marcos, Texas, Tanger hosted a community-
wide Relay for Life event that raised $16,000. Tanger revved up its
fundraising in Locust Grove, Georgia and Barstow, California, by sponsoring
classic car shows that generated an additional $7,000 in breast cancer
donations. Funds raised by Tanger are being donated locally this holiday
season to more than a dozen organizations through the Stanley K. Tanger
Breast Cancer Fund.
According to the American Cancer Society, 178,480 women and 2,030 men will
be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year alone. Approximately
40,460 women and 450 men will die from the disease. The American Cancer
Society is a beneficiary of funds donated by Tanger through the Stanley K.
Tanger Breast Cancer Fund.
