Your Real Champion: Capt’n Chucky

Your Real Champions of the week are Chuck & Nancy Wojciehowski!

Chuck & Nancy have built an impressive empire of seafood markets offering a wide variety of superior quality fish, appetizers, soups, and desserts… but there’s nothing “crabby” about this dynamic duo. Theirs is a work ethic based on discipline, gratitude, and humility, and their generosity is contagious. Capt’n Chucky and Admiral Nancy are truly “fishers of men”!

Each week we highlight the Real Champions in your life! Your family, friends, or colleagues who go the extra mile to help others in their community. Know someone who should be featured? Nominate them now!
