“It was exhilarating to hear Gary Sheinbaum, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger speak about the vision of Tommy Adaptive. The physically challenged have long been a neglected group in our inclusive society. For the Tommy Hilfiger brand with it’s cool celebrity vibe to get behind creating not just clothing for the physically challenged but with the planning and vision to recognize them with a special clothing line that truly speaks of sensitivity as well as cool fashion will have far reaching impact in how our society views physical disabilities.

unable to wear ‘normal’ clothes.” Christopher Arunkumar, CPA , Ziklag Global

It is single handedly setting a new gold standard for major corporations to advance social welfare around the world.” Kelly Welles, Welles Financial Services
