THE CAYLE CHERNIN AWARDS
THE CAYLE CHERNIN MEMORIAL FUND was founded in April 2011 by actor/husband Dwight McFee, colleagues, friends and family to honour Cayle Chernin’s career long dedication to the life of the artist and to further discussion of challenges and issues for women in the performing arts. The CAYLE CHERNIN MEMORIAL FUND continues to grow through fundraising initiatives; salons, forums, conferences, special events, and educational opportunities that foster a sense of community and artist/audience enrichment.
