Chicago Music Exchange

“I forgot I had treatment today.” 💙 WeishFest partnered with the Chicago Music Exchange to create a special day that our beneficiary, Mason Earley, could never forget. But he COULD forget about his cancer treatment! Mason has had a long battle with cancer, and we wanted to create an experience for him that fueled his (very talented) soul. No better way than for WeishFest to partner with the Chicago Music Exchange for an afternoon of rocking out and a surprise gift for Mason to bring home with him 4ever! Thank you to Tanner, John, Zach, Nick and everyone involved with the Chicago Music Exchange for Paying it Forward. Thank you to Mason and the Earley family for being a part of our community and sharing your positive energy with us! Rock on, Mason! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 #WeishFest #Weish4Ever #ChicagoMusicExchance #Chicago #Music #CancerAwareness
