The Basics
Date: Friday, June 12th, 2015
Time: 7 to 11 p.m.
Location: Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina, located at 100 Heron Boulevard in Cambridge
What can guests expect? An evening of food, drinks, and entertainment to celebrate the LLS Maryland-Eastern Shore Man & Woman of the Year! The event will include a fabulous auction, a fun photo booth, introductions of the 10 candidates (and the Boy and Girl of the Year -- local blood cancer survivors and sources of inspiration for competitors), and, of course, the announcement of the 2015 Man and Woman of the Year.
Food and drinks? Helping to get the party started is a three-hour open bar featuring premium liquors, domestic and imported beer, and premium house wines. A cash bar will follow. And no need to worry about eating before your arrival -- the evening will kick-off with delectable hors d'oeuvres followed by a sit-down dinner.
What about parking? There's plenty of complimentary self parking for attendees throughout the resort, however, if you want to skip the hassle of hunting down a spot, valet service will be available for a nominal fee.
Are tickets still available? Tickets are still available for $175 per person or $1,750 for a reserved table of 10. Tickets can be purchased through any candidates or if you're not supporting a specific candidate, you can buy your ticket via the online store.
