Hunter’s Stories

““It Could Save Someone’s Life” 
Tommy Hilfiger Supports Hunter’s Fund

When my children were still small, we used to join the Watson family for “turtle counting” outings after rainstorms in Mustique. There were no cell phones to snap photos back then, but I can still remember the joy on their faces. 

My kids were similar in age to Teddy and Hunter Watson and the kids often spent their days together splashing about in the pool. Those were magical summers for our kids. 

The news that Hunter had died in a car crash was devastating to our whole family. When I learned that Jerry, Judy and some of Hunter’s friends had started a charity to invest in young people, I knew immediately that I wanted to contribute to their efforts. 

Losing a child is something no parent should have to face, but it’s wonderful to see how the Watsons have created something meaningful out of their tragedy. With grants to young artists and entrepreneurs, and to distracted driving awareness campaigns, Hunter’s Fund is making a difference in young people’s lives.  

Hunter’s death was a wakeup call for our family.  Of course, each of us knows that we are not invincible, but when something happens to someone you know, it hits home in a different way. I’m proud to support Hunter’s Fund to get the message out to more young people that life is too precious to risk with distracted driving. It could save someone’s life – and that is worth investing in.
