2015 Charity Scoreboard!!
The annual charity ball presented by AM Charity Fund, Dancing with the Twin Cities Celebrities was founded by the Smith Family as a Memorial to Jesse E. Smith. Jesse was a leader in the dance industry and a well-respected member of the Arthur Murray organization. Jesse was a sought after United States dance champion, coach, and adjudicator, but will most be remembered for his grace and kindness. We are grateful for the contributions he made to the dance world and as a Arthur Murray Studio owner and as a loving father and husband. Jesse died at the age of 37 from Hodgkin’s Disease in 2006. Each year the AM Charity Fund donates a grant to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in loving memory of Jesse Smith.
