“Tanger customers feel good
knowing that each Cure Card
they purchased is now fighting
the top ranked, most deadly
forms of cancer - lung, col

toward these diseases because
they are responsible for the
deaths of nearly 250,000
Americans each year. It is
our hope that the funds raised
through the Tanger Cure Card
can support the research need
ed to find cures.”
