Brian "SUPER CHACKA" Chacka
represents "BRAVERY" on our Flugtag Team

 
     
 


Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound. 

Look! Up in the sky by Harriet Island!  It's a bird.  It's a plane.  IT'S SUPER CHACKA!   He has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. 

SUPER CHACKA can change the course of mighty rivers (such as the Mississippi), bend steel with his bare hands, and who disguised in the day as a Petroleum Engineer (Brian Chacka), continues to fight the never ending battle of breast cancer with his teammates on the

SS TREASURED CHESTS Flugtag Ship! 

With a big grin on his face, he will be fashionably wearing a PINK speedo and matching cape complete with his flying goggles (in honor of breast cancer awareness)  “Super Chacka” is always ready to raise awareness  & help spread the word about early detection & prevention of Breast Cancer!  

Brian Chacka works hard during the day, so he can play hard with his friends at night!  He has been instrumental in organizing popular (sold out) events in the Twin Cities such as the Running of the Bulls & Running of the Santas.  Both events manage to shut down one of the busiest streets in Minneapolis. 1st Avenue is filled with hundreds of people (in costume) running from nightclub to nightclub, bar to bar for a night full of fun, while at the same time donating money raised for charities.  Local charities who have been the recipient of the funds raised from Brian and his group of friends has included:

Treasured Chests, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation & Local Food Shelves.

 
     
 

Kelly "TREASURED CHESTS" Moore
represents "CREATIVITY" on our Flugtag Team

 
     
 
She is a single mom, a 3rd grade school teacher, a cable TV music host, and a former MN Vikings Cheerleader, but most importantly...she is ALL of these because she has been breast cancer free since 2002. Kelly was driven by determination and passion to improve breast cancer awareness after beating it. The wake up call that “cancer could happen to anyone, but me?!!” motivated her in 2005 to “found” one of the most creative MN based nonprofit organizations, Treasured Chests Events, in order to combat the disease that affects 178,000 American women each year. Treasured Chests Events supports those who are fighting, those who survived, and those who forever will remember loved ones who lost their lives to breast cancer!
 
     
     
 

Terry "MY RUN" Hitchcock (71 yrs old)
represents “SPORTSMANSHIP” on our Flugtag Team

 
     
 
Terry Hitchcock ran from St. Paul to Atlanta in 75 consecutive days, covering the equivalent of a marathon a day. Terry not only ran in honor of his wife who lost her life to breast cancer, but his "mega-marathon" was an incredible feat to show their three young children that it takes faith, courage, stamina and stubbornness to keep a family whole. Terry was determined to make others aware that almost 23 million kids come home to a single parent household that face extraordinary obstacles and crushing heartbreaks. He continues to live this marathon called life!
 
     
     
 

Dave "IRON MAN" Kane
represents “BRAINY” on our Flugtag Team

 
       
 

Currently holding the title of the MN State Champion 40-49 yr old Black Belt Division, Dave is on his way to earning a 2nd Degree Black Belt. As a single dad, he proudly watches his son follow in his footsteps in the NCKA circuit. Sharing his love of karate with his 13 year old, one of Dave’s proudest moments was watching his son earn a brown belt degree which clearly represents strength, confidence, and self discipline/assurance.

Last but not least, be sure to check the waters of the Mighty Mississippi  for Dave's 68 year old mom....

she is a member of Dragon Divas, a group of breast cancer women, who race in the

Twin Cities Flugtag waters!

 
     
 

Meet the "Dragon Divas"!

Dave's mom is the fighter in the 2nd Row, Right side, on the end.
