Before Andrew Weishar passed in October of 2012 of colorectal cancer, Andrew asked his younger brother Dan to pay forward the acts of kindness and generosity shown to their family during his battle. In early 2013, Weish4Ever was created to honor this selfless request, specifically by: easing the financial burden, bringing joy, and ensuring patients and their families know theyre not alone in their fight against cancer. With this concert, our goal is to raise money for future beneficiaries of the foundation and raise awareness for an incredible cause.
