Why We're Here

Corporation and a 501(c)3 Public Charity, established in
2005 in memory of Keith Kamman, a talented
Architect, dedicated father, son and friend.
Keith lost his battle with melanoma at the age of 33. Click here to see Keith's

A
Tribute
 A
special thanks to Cathy Kamman, who
passed away suddenly in December, 2010. She became the
driving force who, with many friends and volunteers,
helped establish Melanoma Awareness.
Cathy volunteered tirelessly and passionately
to get the message out to thousands of people, in hopes
of saving just one life with early detection.
We may never know the impact Cathy had, but if one
person caught Melanoma in an early, treatable stage as a
result of Melanoma Awareness Education, we know she
would feel her mission was
worthwhile. | |
