CHESTERFIELD, MO – (November 21, 2025) – Fish Window Cleaning Services, Inc. ®, the premier window cleaning franchise company, proudly commemorated Breast Cancer Awareness Month by providing complimentary, professional window cleaning services to women currently undergoing treatment and those who have survived breast cancer.  

This October, over 20 Fish Window Cleaning franchisees nationwide participated in this initiative to give back to their community. For franchise owners Dave Weishar of Bridgeview and Brian Langhans of Oswego, the initiative was not just a charitable program but a deeply personal one. 

Throughout the month, the two franchise owners visited the homes of local women facing one of life’s toughest battles. Their goal: to bring a moment of brightness, comfort, and relief when daily life can feel overwhelming. 

A Personal Mission to Give Back 

For Weishar and his business partners, the cause is rooted in real loss and lasting resilience. His business partner, John Pegler, witnessed his wife, who is also Weishar’s sister, survive a double mastectomy. Another partner, Matt Hermann, has experienced unimaginable heartbreak—losing his wife and, more recently, two daughters to breast cancer. That shared experience led to the creation of the Weish4Ever Foundation, established to honor loved ones and support others facing the disease. This foundation has donated over $4MM to families battling cancer. 

One of this year’s recipients, La Grange Park resident Lauren Weber, represents the reason their mission matters. Diagnosed at just 33, only months after giving birth, Lauren endured 16 rounds of chemotherapy while raising an infant. Now one-year post-treatment, Weishar and his team stepped in to provide an act of kindness.  

“When you’re facing something like breast cancer, everything else falls away,” said Weishar. “We just wanted to give her a little break and a little brightness. It was the least we could do. We clean windows for a living, but this is the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re doing something that truly matters.”  

Acts of Comfort and Care in Aurora 

Across town, Langhans and his team extended the same compassion to Sandy Lange, a woman currently facing breast cancer for the second time. Sandy’s strength comes on top of enduring the tragic loss of her son in 2017. After cleaning her windows, screens, and even light fixtures, the Oswego team received a heartfelt note of thanks from Sandy, who called the gesture meaningful during a difficult chapter. 

“To us, it may have been a simple service, but for families experiencing treatment and grief, having one less task to worry about can make a visible difference,” said Langhans. 

A Small Gesture With Major Impact 

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and while millions have survived, the physical and emotional toll can last well beyond treatment. 

“When you’re dealing with cancer, even the basic things, like keeping your home in order, can feel overwhelming,” said Hermann. “If we can take one thing off someone’s plate, even for a day, that matters.”
