Simon will continue its engagement as one of five national Susan G. Komen® sponsors through its Washington D.C-area centers, including Clarksburg Premium Outlets, Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, Hagerstown Premium Outlets, Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets, Queenstown Premium Outlets and St. Charles Towne Center. The initiative encourages employees, retailers and shoppers to participate in activities and contribute to the achievement of Komen’s bold goal of reducing current U.S. breast cancer deaths by 50 percent by 2026.

“Our shoppers, retailers and employees have demonstrated their support and commitment to Susan G. Komen over the last two years by participating in all of our fundraising activities,” said Randy Goldman, director of marketing and business development at Clarksburg Premium Outlets on behalf of all six area Simon centers. “We look forward to another successful campaign this year and are focused on fighting a disease that affects so many in our community.”

”We’re honored to continue our partnership with the Washington D.C.-area Simon centers and are inspired by their dedication in raising funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer,” said Christina Alford, SVP of Development at Susan G. Komen. “The generosity of Simon is making an incredible impact on the lives of countless women and men and we look forward to what this partnership will bring in the year ahead.”
