Tommy Hilfiger and teen pop duo Aly & Aj have teamed up with the *Nancy Davis Foundation for [MS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burgers-to-beat-ms-campaign)* to promote MS Awareness Month in May.

Aly & Aj model vibrant orange *We â™¥ to Erase MS* T-Shirts, exclusively designed by Tommy Hilfiger for the cause.

Hilfiger also designed a *Orange Wallet/Very Necessary Medical Id Holder* with an embossed *We â™¥ to Erase MS*. The wallet comes inclusive of a one year membership valued at $40 to the *My Very Necessary Medical I.D. Card* and Prescription Discount Card program. The *My Very Necessary Medical I.D. Card* helps to easily manage your health care and that of your loved ones and can help reduce the margin of error in an emergency by providing critical information when a patient is unable to speak for him or herself. For people without insurance, the card saves you up to 15% off brand name prescriptions and up to 55% off generic prescriptions. And you end up paying $10 for a Tommy wallet!

Also new are the $95 *Alexandra Knight Leather Bracelets*. The alligator leather bracelets come as a wide cuff with leather snap closure or thin double wrap with a buckle closure. They are both embossed on the inside with *Race to Erase MS*.
