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.

Tanger Outlet Center makes donations to each school

The Kirbyville School District thanks the Tanger Outlet Center for making donations in the amount of $1000 to each school last week. The money was raised through the TangerBucks program. Tanger Outlets across the country have been lending a helping hand to schools in the communities they serve for over 27 years. The money is raised in several ways: through participating schools receiving an equal share of $1 per coupon book that is sold nationwide, through direct sales of Tanger Coupon Books at school events (the entire $5 goes to the school) or through distribution of printed vouchers for the school that can be taken to the Tanger Outlet Center and the entire sale amount of the coupon booklet goes to the school. KMS and KES will be participating in this program again beginning June 1 for the upcoming school year. Watch for vouchers to come home periodically during the school year.

Thank-you, Tanger Outlet Center!

The Kirbyville School District wishes to thank the Tanger Outlet Center for their generous donation of $1, 200 to each building through the Tanger Bucks program. Each time a coupon booklet was sold during the past year, a portion of the proceeds were donated to each school. Tanger Outlet Center will continue this program next year as well!
