Local Premium Outlets Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Simon®, a global leader in premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today announced its fall campaign to support Susan G. Komen, the world's leading nonprofit breast cancer organization. More than 150 Simon Malls®, Mills®, and Premium Outlets® nationwide will be participating in a range of activities during the month of October including at Twin Cities Premium Outlets and Albertville Premium Outlets.

"We are thrilled to launch our More Than Pink initiative and have been overwhelmed by the ongoing positive support this movement has garnered with our shoppers, retailers, and employees to support Susan G. Komen in its tireless efforts to save lives and end breast cancer forever," said Sarah Dorrian, the Premium Outlets' Director of Marketing

The popular shopping centers are helping support Komen's work to save lives and reach its Bold Goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the United States by 2026. Simon is joining the fight against breast cancer by starting a conversation and challenging people to help create a renewed movement in the fight against breast cancer, a disease that will kill more than 42,000 people this year. In 2018, Simon raised more than $550,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen, all generated through the support and participation of shoppers, retailers, and employees.

Shoppers can get involved and help support for 2019 in ways including:

• Discount Pass Program: Shoppers who make a $10 donation to Komen in the month of October will receive a discount pass valid at participating retailers, complimentary water and Lindt chocolate
• Giftcards: Simon will donate $1 to Komen for each specially marked Visa® Simon Giftcard® purchased
