As one of the world's leading brands for premium lifestyle fashions, Tommy Hilfiger has become a household name in both the industry and the department stores. However, the company's innovative take on preppy, all-American styles are not second to its commitment to giving back. Founded in 1995, the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation aims to enrich the lives of America's youth, focusing on opportunities that provide educational offerings to populations across the world.

On Thursday, December 15, continuing its longstanding partnership with the Department of Homeless Services (DHS), the foundation invited teens from six City shelters to a holiday party at the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate headquarters. Joined by the company's Chief Operating Officer (CEO) of North America, Gary Sheinbaum, and Foundation President, Guy Vickers, attendees enjoyed an evening of great food, entertainment and gifts.

From striking a pose on the red carpet to hitting the dance floor, the event proved to be a memorable experience that many of the teens will never forget. 

"The Tommy Foundation continues to be a tremendous partner to our agency, not just around the holidays, but year-round," said DHS' Deputy Commissioner for Communications & External Affairs, Barbara Brancaccio. "Unlike many other events, which are geared toward younger children, this one always embraces and engages teens in shelter and provides them with a special, but age-appropriate, night of fun."

In addition to hosting the annual holiday party, the foundation has, over the years, provided tours of its office to young adults in shelter who are interested in fashion, and has donated large amounts of clothing to families in need.
