Your $30 purchase of a scarf or necktie will go a long way to improve the lives of women in the Tulsa community.  Help your neighbor make the journey toward making a difference of her own and a difference for her family as well.

Tommy Hilfiger "Something to Share" accessories are available in Tulsa at Mary Ruby Apparel, 6034 South Yale Avenue and at Pavilion on the Square located at 1826 Utica Square.
