Shop, save and
help find a cure
at Tanger this fall
This fall, Tanger Outlets is offering shop-
pers a way to join in the fight against
breast cancer with the annual Tanger
PINKStyle campaign. This national
campaign, which is in its 19th year, kicks
off Wednesday,
September 12
, and runs
through Thursday,
October 25
.
As part of Tanger’s fundraising
efforts, shoppers can purchase Pink
Cards for $1 each, with all proceeds
going to a local beneficiary. Our local
Hilton Head center has been honored to
support Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s
Keyserling Cancer Center for five years
now as the campaign beneficiary.
“This campaign is very important
to the entire team at our center,” says
LaDonna Shamlou, general manager
at Tanger Outlets, Hilton Head. “We
feel humbled and privileged each year
to contribute to an organization like
Keyserling, which provides women in
our area with unparalleled care and sup-
port as they fight this terrible disease.”
Last year the campaign raised an
extraordinary $27,650—a number
we hope will be surpassed this year.
Pink Cards can be purchased at the
Campaign Kick Off Pink Partini on
Thursday,
September 13
; from Tanger
Shopper Services; from the Beaufort
Memorial Hospital Gift Shop; and at
the Spirit of Women Girls’ Night Out on
Thursday,
October 11
.
OK, couch potatoes.
