Our Story

Treasured Chests is the brainchild of Kelly Moore. Kelly will never forget the first time she felt a round, bone-hard lump on her chest. “I was lucky,” she admits. “I caught my cancer in the early stages and had a lot of support from family, friends, and colleagues.” Although she was told by her doctor that the lump was nothing to worry about, she was persuaded by those who were closest to her to get the mass removed. The results came back from Mayo Clinic diagnosing her with Tubular Breast Cancer. She underwent a second lumpectomy & was then treated with radiation. She has been cancer-free since 2002, but her life will never be the same. “After talking to various musicians, artists, local celebrities, and business owners about the concept behind the show, they embraced the idea of being a part of our Treasured Chests Gala. Seeing how our passion and drive were shared by others, it made me realize the HUGE impact that Treasured Chests could have here in Minnesota.” Kelly Moore is the PROUD recipient of the "Eleven Who Care" award given by Kare 11.
