Tanger Outlets in Ocean City is excited to announce an individual school in Worcester County as this year’s recipient of a TangerKIDS Grant. In keeping with Tanger Outlets’ mission to support the future of our children, the TangerKIDS Grants program is designed to award grant money to local schools in the communities where Tanger Outlet Centers are located. Grants awarded this month will benefit schools for the 2015-2016 school year.
This year’s recipient is the Cedar Chapel Special School for it’s “Communication For All Students” program.
For every coupon book sold, Tanger has earmarked one dollar for the TangerKIDS Grants program.
Funding for TangerKIDS Grants ranges from $3,000 to $7,500 per center and may be split between multiple grant requests.
“A big part of our mission at Tanger is to contribute positively to the communities in which we operate,” said Steven B. Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to once again give back to these remarkable schools and look forward to continuing our efforts to support students and educators across the country.”
