“The Scoop: Guests gathered at the specialty men’s shoe store to support Cancer Below the Belt, an organization founded by interior designer Kelly Amen to raise awareness and reduce the stigma about prostate cancer. Amen, a prostate cancer survivor, says he is always looking for ways to put the “ease back in disease” and came up up the fun idea to launch a campaign for supporters to be photographed in their skivvies, with the hashtag #GetCaughtWithYourPantsDown.”

The fun atmosphere of La Griglia played host to an epic evening of pants coming down to raise awareness for cancers occuring below the belt. What a joy it was to see what the guests had hidden underneath their fabulous outfits…making the unseen– seen.

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.
