On Monday, April 12, 2010, The Actors Fund bestowed its highest honor, The Actors Fund Medal of Honor, on Annette Bening, Kevin McCollum and Jonathan Tisch, their special campaign co-chairs in recognition of their commitment and leadership.
The evening was a culmination of Bening, McCollum and Tisch's year-long fundraising leadership as co-chairs of The Actors Fund's special campaign, which has already raised nearly $10 million. The celebration was held at the Marriott Marquis Times Square and was hosted by Cheyenne Jackson.
The Actors Fund is a national human services organization that helps everyone - performers and those behind the scenes - who works in performing arts and entertainment, helping close to 11,000 people directly each year, and hundreds of thousands online.

With offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, The Actors Fund has - for over 125 years - been a safety net for those in need, crisis or transition.
