Tanger Outlet Center benefits Kirbyville Schools

(Branson, MO, 5/25/10)….Before school lets out for summer, the Tanger Outlet Center in Branson is presenting a welcomed gift to several area schools. As part of Tanger’s 2009-2010 TangerBucks for Schools campaign, Tanger is making $1,000 donations with the goal of helping these local students and schools excel. Schools receiving donations include Branson Elementary West, Branson Intermediate, Hickory Hills, Kirbyville Elementary and Kirbyville Middle School.

“Nothing is more important in our community than giving our students the tools they need to reach their full potential,” stated Mr. Jamie Whiteis, Tanger General Manager. “Tanger is proud to help provide funds for materials and educational programs to help our schools and kids succeed.”

TangerBucks for Schools gave participating schools the opportunity to raise money with no strings attached. By being part of the TangerBucks program, these schools receive an equal share of proceeds from Tanger Coupon Books sold during the campaign period. Additionally, participating schools had the opportunity to raise even more money by hosting TangerBucks for Schools fundraising events during the school year. Nationally, schools across America are receiving more than $135,000 this year as part of the TangerBucks for Schools campaign.

“We appreciate the support that we receive from concerned local businesses like Tanger Outlets,” said Addie Gaines, Kirbyville Elementary Principal. “Tanger’s generous donation will be used in a variety of ways including character trait t-shirts for the students.”

The Tanger Outlet Center in Branson features 65 brand name and designer outlet stores. The Tanger center is located just off West Highway 76 on Tanger Blvd.
