Tanger Outlet Center Leads Expedition To Antarctica

Posted on January 1, 2012 | Comments Off

In 2006, Tanger Outlet Center set the bar high by claiming the lead sponsorship for The Outer Banks Hospital’s first black tie dinner dance.  This year, Tanger will again hold the title of lead sponsor to the black tie dinner dance on January 21st at the Wright Brothers Memorial Pavilion.  “It’s been rewarding to see the hospital expand cancer services over the past six years,” said Debbie Moore, General Manager at Tanger.   “This disease touches so many people and treatment can extend for months.  It’s great to know that surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and lymphedema are available right here on the Outer Banks, along with a variety of assistance for patients and their families.”

 When The Outer Banks Hospital’s Development Council began planning for its first Flights of Fancy gala, many people questioned scheduling an event in January.  “I knew the choice was right,” saidMoore.  “People are finally unwinding from the busy summer, the holiday season is over and the dark months of winter are upon us.  The gala gives everyone a reason to celebrate.”

Joining Tanger and Flights of Fancy gala chairman, Gail Hodges, on the January 21st Antarctica expedition with sponsorships this year are OBX Bank, TowneBank of Currituck, University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina and Waldt Construction. For more information about sponsorships or tickets to the highest, driest, coldest place on earth call 449-9183.

The Outer Banks Hospital wrapped up their annual U.S. Marines Toys For Tots Campaign by collecting a record number of  200 toys for Dare County children. U.S. Marine Robert Messinger was on hand on December 13th to deliver the toys to the North Pole so Santa could insure the children receive them by Christmas Eve. Messinger has been helping Santa since 1952 and this is his 4th year helping out locally on the Outer Banks.  Over the past 64 years, The U. S. Marine Corps has distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million children through their Toys For Tots Program.

The annual toy drive is sponsored by The Outer Banks Hospital’s Employee Experience team and headed by Pamela Fockler. This year’s collection far exceeded the team’s expectations and The Outer Banks Hospital staff is pleased at how many children will have a merrier Christmas this year because of their efforts.
