The Andrew Weishar Foundation hosts several fundraising events over the year with the WeishFest being biggest of them all. Their fundraising will go to families battling cancer. Since the fundraising efforts began, they have raised over $2 million which has gone on to help over 375 families.
Those effort continue this week with even more proceeds coming in all week long as well as during the event and online.
