Reservations are now being taken for “Blues on the Bay” at Macky’s in Ocean City, the annual September party that celebrates shoulder season at the resort and also raises money for a great cause, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.
Last year, Blues on the Bay raised more than $25,000 for the capital campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. The campaign has reached beyond the $4 million fundraising mark in its goal of $5 million.
Blues on the Bay will be held at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street bayside in Ocean City on Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. Singer and saxophonist Everett Spells will provide the musical entertainment, and tickets include an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a front-row view of the sunset over the bay.
Macky’s owner, Walter “Macky” Stansell, is a member of the Coastal Hospice Board of Directors and also serves on the committee raising funds to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.
“We urge everyone to come out, have some fun, and support a great cause,” Stansell said. “We’re close to reaching our building goal, and the Blues on the Bay evening will put us even closer.”
Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a medically-prepared yet home-like hospice residence and community outreach center in Worcester County. It will be a home for hospice patients and also offer palliative care, counseling, grief support and community wellness programs.
Tickets to Blues on the Bay are $75 per person. For more information and reservations for Blues on the Bay, visit//CoastalHospice.org/Bluesor call 410-742-8732.
