Charles Morin Fund

The Charles Morin Fund was created by Compagnie Vox Théâtre in 2008-09 to help underprivileged francophone children and teenagers from Ontario participate in artistic and theatrical activities designed to stimulate their imagination, build their self-confidence, help them solve problems and improve their quality of life. The fund operates thanks to the generosity of donors and Vox Théâtre’s own fundraising activities.

Charles Morin, who served on the board of directors of Vox Théâtre for fifteen years, was passionate about arts and culture. In 2008, he lost his battle to cancer. With the consent and support of his family, VOX created the Charles Morin Fund to honour his memory, both as a great champion for artists and as a strong advocate for the rights of Franco-Ontarians and the well-being of children.

When you donate to the Charles Morin fund, you are helping :

Underprivileged children access shows, workshops, and courses.

Young artists from French-speaking communities in Ontario develop their knowledge of youth theatre.
