The collaboration with Tall Order, a company founded by Dan and Mike Friedman in memory of their father, a 9/11 victim, marks a significant gesture ahead of the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The company donates a portion of its sales to health and human services organizations.

"It's an honor for the Yankees to work closely with Tall Order, which devotes so much of its energy to such meaningful and impactful philanthropy," said Deborah A. Tymon, New York Yankees Senior Vice President, Marketing.

Aaron Judge, who joined Tall Order as an equity partner in 2021, has played a key role in the design of these socks. "Aaron contacted us in 2021 to make him custom socks, and the rest is history," said Lisa Friedman of Tall Order. "The socks that will be given to fans next month are replicas of Aaron's custom performance socks."

In support of the initiative, ULAC will donate 15% of sales during September to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting military and first responder families. Additionally, ULAC has donated the 18,000 pairs of socks for the Yankee Stadium giveaway.

"The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is truly thankful for the support of United Legwear & Apparel Co., Tall Order, and the New York Yankees," said Frank Siller, Chairman & CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
