A night of ballroom dancing allowed Jane Sewell to raise nearly $75,000 for the Alzheimer's Association last weekend.
Sewell danced in the Baltimore Memory Ball Gala Saturday at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel. She raised the most money of participating dancers. The event raised $326,000.
Along with dancing partner Matthew Misroch, Sewell performed a dance from "Dirty Dancing," the 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray.
Sewell is the Executive Director of the Union Mills Homestead Foundation in Westminster and recently retired from teaching physical education and dance at Calvert School.
She danced in the memory of her cousin, Sargent Shriver. Shriver, the first director of the Peace Corps, died two years ago at the age of 95. He had Alzheimer's for eight years.
