OCEAN CITY-Summer may be coming to an end, but you can still enjoy a fabulous party on the bay, while raising money for a great cause, at the Blues on the Bay fundraiser, named the best charity event in 2012 by local voters in the Greatest Around Ocean City™ 2012 poll.

Blues on the Bay will again be held at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street in Ocean City on Wednesday, Sept. 18 beginning at 6 p.m. This event benefits a planned hospice residence project, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, and is being hosted for the sixth consecutive year by Macky and Pam Stansell, who have been generous advocates of Coastal Hospice for many years.

“Pam and Macky Stansell have been steadfast supports of our mission,” Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen said. “Their investment of time, as well as their financial generosity, continues to show their commitment to Coastal Hospice and the future vision of the Coastal Hospice at the Ocean residence project.”

Tickets to Blues on the Bay cost $50 per person, which includes open bar and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Everett Spells will provide the musical entertainment.

Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care is a private non-profit community program that provides traditional hospice services, palliative care, bereavement support, education and training to patients and their families in Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset and Dorchester counties.
