Black History Month, which is celebrated every February, is an important month of remembrance, recognition, and education. During Black History Month and throughout the year, we acknowledge the impact of notable Black figures on our society and honor Black history, culture and achievements.
According to the American Red Cross, every two seconds in the U.S., someone needs blood, and right now, we are experiencing a national shortage. Currently, blood supply levels are the lowest they have been in more than a decade, and dangerously low blood supply levels put patient care at risk. To help confront this national shortage, Washington Prime Group properties are hosting blood drives in their local communities.
Each year during the holiday season, Washington Prime Group properties undertake initiatives focused on benefitting their local communities. On January 2, 2022, Pearlridge Center marked the conclusion of their holiday partnership with the Light the World Giving Machine project.
The 2nd annual Ugly Sweater Holiday Run 5K at WestShore Plaza is becoming a festive holiday tradition supporting a worthy cause and creating enjoyable memories for the community.

Every January, we celebrate and honor the work, life, and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This national holiday reminds us to volunteer and give back to our communities and causes that matter to each of us. Inspired by the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an official day of service, and that the holiday coincides with Dr. King’s birthday, our colleagues across the country participated in a company-wide giving back initiative on January 13, 2022, to provide birthday kits to families in need.
