Welcome Patrick To Weish4Ever

Paying It Forward

With the help of our friends at Barstool Sports, we had the pleasure of welcoming Patrick into the #Weish4Ever fam. This visit was as fun, as it was moving. At 23 years old, the past 5 months, Patrick has battled cancer and started a new job, all while managing the added obstacles that come from the hardships brought by COVID-19. Check out the full video highlights, including the awesome banter and stories from the guys. Here’s to more good news Patrick! Welcome to the family!

WeishFest (pronounced “Wish” Fest) is a one-night music festival unlike anything in the area, held by and for a 501c3 non-profit organization called The Andrew Weishar Foundation ("Weish4Ever"). Every dollar we raise at this event benefits Weish4Ever's mission of providing direct support and financial relief to families with adolescents and young adults battling cancer.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Paying It Forward

You make a visible, immediate and significant impact in the lives of these patients and families going through the most difficult moments of their lives. Your gift will serve an under-served population of patients in the cancer community, facing unique challenges including hiatus from school and/or work, lack of insurance, social isolation, delay of diagnosis, fertility preservation, among many other obstacles. Many of our beneficiaries, while often diagnosed with pediatric cancers, are not afforded the same financial and support-based resources provided to pediatric cancer patients under the age of 18. The families assisted by this “Pay it Forward” mission include patients of single parents struggling to make ends meet, parents that have taken a leave of absence from work to care for their sick child, young adults without much family to lean on, and more difficult examples. All beneficiaries are in financial distress, facing the most difficult moments of their lives as they battle cancer. Your contribution is crucial in bringing joy and helping ensure these families know they are not alone in this fight.

  • Fulfilling Andrew's Last Wish

    The Andrew Weishar Foundation (AWF) is a volunteer-led, 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization founded in the south suburbs of Chicago. We are a grass-roots organization created in honor of a young man named Andrew Weishar, who passed of cancer in 2012 at the age of 21. Before he passed, Andrew had one simple and selfless request to his family and that was to “Pay Forward” the kindness and generosity he was shown during that fight. To fulfill his dying wish, we created The Andrew Weishar Foundation (“Weish4Ever”) to bring joy and ease the financial burden felt by families battling cancer.

  • Over $1,200,000 Granted Directly to Families Battling Cancer

    Weish4Ever provides financial assistance and support directly to families with adolescents or young adults battling cancer. We pride ourselves on making a powerful and immediate impact on the lives of these families facing the most difficult moments of their lives.
