#GetCaughtWithYourPantsDown
Ken Kehoe and Co. is a longtime supporter of Kelly Gale Amen and when Kelly wanted to take his awareness campaign to the next level… Ken Kehoe and Co. generously opened their doors to welcome the message of awareness. The event was all about getting the things that are hard to talk about into the open. From the food to the drinks…everything was provocative and geared toward stirring up the conversation about cancers that aren’t being talked about.

HOUSTON, TX – It’s no secret that cancer can strike anyone, at any age, in any part of their body. But when it comes to certain types of cancer such as prostate, ovarian or colon, silence can also be a killer.
“In 1993, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer,” said artist and interior designer Kelly Gale Amen. “I was too young. I had no symptoms. I had no idea that I could be ill.”
