Editor,
Coastal Hospice wishes to thank everyone who made this year’s Blues on the Bay a big success. More than 220 supporters attended the event on Sept. 27 at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill and raised more than $33,000 for the capital campaign to build The Macky & Pam Stansell House at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. Blues on the Bay 2017 put us one step closer toward our goal of building a state-of-the-art hospice residence and community outreach center in Ocean Pines. This vital new facility will be home for terminally ill patients, as well as a base for palliative care, counseling, grief support and community wellness programs. We would also like to express our gratitude to Macky and Pam Stansell who open the doors of their restaurant every year as hosts of this annual event. The Stansells continue to show their commitment to Coastal Hospice and the vision of the new hospice home, now named after them to honor their generosity. Everyone at Coastal Hospice truly appreciates our community’s support.

Alane K. Capen President, Coastal Hospice
