United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES), in partnership with the Ocean City Hotel, Motel, Restaurant Association (OCHMRA) is looking forward to welcoming back guests and visitors for the 2023 summer season! UWLES is excited to offer the Dine, Stay and Play program again this year with local hospitality and recreational organizations as they demonstrate giving back to the community and creating local impact.
Local restaurants, hotels, entertainment, and sporting venues can sign up with UWLES to participate. Each business chooses their promotional menu items, or stay and play specials, and designates a portion of those sales to UWLES to help impact 1 in 3 local neighbors. All proceeds stay local for UWLES and their nonprofit partners who help Worcester and other lower shore county neighbors in need.
Participants benefit from free digital and print marketing through radio, newspaper, television and social media campaigns throughout the summer season. We are thankful and excited for our media partnerships with Delmarva Public Media, iHeart Media, WMDT-47, Independent News Media, Greater OC Chamber of Commerce and Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce.
This unique opportunity for both locals and visitors to help support and recognize the importance of the hospitality and tourism industry and our community – all while giving back to our local community, will run from Memorial Day – Labor Day. This program reinforces the importance and significance of the hospitality industry in our region while reminding patrons how they are helping thousands of local families by supporting community minded businesses. Restaurants, lodging and entertainment businesses of any size are welcome to participate.
