💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Is Personal
At Silked, October is more than a pink ribbon. It’s a reminder to take action, give back, and lift up the voices of those affected by breast cancer. This year, we’re honored to spotlight a powerful campaign that our Co-Founder, Phoenix Gonzalez, also the lead singer of Phoenix5, to part in.
Women Who Rock the Suncoast is a movement born from music, unity, and compassion, led by one incredible man — Kurt “K Rock” Kiehnle.
🎸 The Man Behind the Movement
K' Rock, founder of the Jack’D Up Band, is known for his love of classic rock. But this October, he used that passion to build something much bigger — a community-led campaign to raise breast cancer awareness through the voices of Florida’s most talented female vocalists.
“When I thought about how many women in my life have been affected by breast cancer, I knew I had to act. So I reached out to the strongest voices I knew and invited them to come together in purpose.”
— Kurt Kiehnle
The campaign began with a dynamic photo shoot at 88 Live Piano Bar in Bradenton, featuring over 30 powerhouse women committed to making an impact.
📸 More Than a Photo Shoot
What began as a photo shoot quickly became something deeper — a sisterhood. The event brought together women from all walks of life, some meeting for the first time, all united by a shared mission.
From the minute the shoot began, the energy was electric. Love, encouragement, and stories of survival filled the room. What emerged were not just beautiful photos but lifelong connections between survivors, supporters, and advocates.
Their campaign supports The Beautiful Gate Inc., a nonprofit that provides free mammograms, early detection education, and care access for underserved women in Florida.
As a result of this partnership, a night of music and charity came to life on November 14, 2025, when 20+ Women Who Rock the Suncoast took the stage at 88 Live Piano Bar in Bradenton. This sold-out night raised $8,370 for this incredible charity!

💗 Why This Matters to Silked
Breast cancer is a cause that has personally touched Silked Co-Founder Phoenix Gonzalez and her family. It’s not just a campaign — it’s a cause that holds space in her heart.
“Supporting this campaign felt deeply aligned with who we are as a brand and who I am as a woman. To come together with so many strong, talented women for a cause that affects so many — it was a full-circle moment.”
— Phoenix Gonzalez
When the invitation came from K Rock, Phoenix knew right away that Silked would support this organization in 2025.
🎁 Silked’s Gift of Comfort
As a way to give back, Silked gifted each singer a Satin Eye Mask, a symbol of healing, rest, and appreciation. The moment was captured in an emotional Instagram Reel, showcasing gratitude, unity, and joy.
