United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES) recently held their 19th Annual Holiday Ball at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort in Cambridge, MD, raising over $182,000 through sponsorships, a virtual auction and other event activities. Randy Scott, from Froggy 99.9’s Whiskey and Randy Show, returned as the evening’s emcee. Guests enjoyed live music by Gold City, a delicious gourmet dinner along with specialty drinks, treats and late-night fare presented by the Hyatt.
