The Alvin Sherman Family Stage at the Jerry Herman Ring Theater - University of Miami
The Alvin Sherman Family Stage at the University's campus theater is not the only donation made by Mr. Sherman, although it is the most visible. For almost thirty years, Alvin Sherman has provided vital scholarship support to University of Miami students - with a caveat: the recipients must come from divorced or separated families. Although not a product of divorce, Mr. Sherman had several friends facing this difficult situation. Through this award, he chose to provide tangible assistance to children who are impacted financially by their parents' separation.
