The 2024 WeishFest lineup isn’t the only work of art! 🎨 Who saw local Chicago artist @raspyrivera in action at last year’s show? Raspy painted LIVE during the show and auctioned off the painting to raise money for @weish4ever . Thank you for Paying It Forward! Reminder to get your early bird tickets before they’re gone at www.weishfest.com! #WeishFest #Weish4Ever #Chicago

Uplifting Adolescents and Young Adults Battling Cancer - Paying It Forward Since 2013
About us
The Andrew Weishar Foundation (AWF) was created to honor the memory of Andrew Weishar and his legacy of helping others to live with faith, courage, and strength. Our mission is to provide immediate resources to families with children or adolescents stricken with cancer. We will provide financial assistance to these families in need and dedicate ourselves to these acts of kindness and generosity. Andrew and the Weishar family learned firsthand what many survivors have learned when coping with cancer: ◾Acts of kindness – Andrew was constantly amazed and grateful for the endless acts of kindness he received from so many people. ◾Financial Burden – When Andrew was diagnosed, the Weishar family quickly realized that, on top of being a physical, mental, and psychological struggle; cancer is an extreme financial burden. ◾Escape from the toll of cancer – During Andrew’s 3-year battle, his greatest highlights were the “escapes” from the treatments and realities of his diagnosis. Andrew’s time with his family and moments of everyday, normal activities, provided needed reprieve from the realities he was facing. Prior to Andrew’s passing, in October of 2012, he asked his younger brother Dan to “pay forward” the acts of kindness and generosity he received. In early 2013, AWF was created to honor Andrew’s request of paying it forward, specifically by: providing acts of kindness and generosity; easing the financial burden; and providing a temporary escape.
