Tilton, NH, December 3, 2008…This holiday season, the Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton is giving the gift of hope to those in our community that are facing breast cancer.   As part of Tanger's national Breast Cancer Awareness campaign that took place September 17-October 19, Tanger donated $52,971.65 to LRGHealthcare's Digital Mammography Campaign through the Stanley K.

 "We are hopeful that our donation will make a big difference to those in our community that are faced with battling breast cancer this holiday season," remarked Eric N.
