Sixth Blues on the Bay aids Hospice

OCEAN CITY–Beach lovers may be singing the blues as summer ends, but that doesn’t mean the good times are over. Blues on the Bay is an annual September party on the bay that raises the roof on fun and also raises money for a great cause, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.
Now in its seventh year, Blues on the Bay raised $65,000 in 2013 for the capital campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean.
Blues on the Bay will be held at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street, bayside, in Ocean City on Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 6-9 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 owners are, Walter “Macky” Stansell, a member of the Coastal Hospice Board of Directors, and his wife, Pam, a generous advocate of Coastal Hospice for many years. The Stansells were primary contributors to the purchase of the land where the new hospice residence will be built in Berlin.
“The Stansells’ 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,” Coastal Hospice President Alane Capen said.
Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a state-of-the-art hospice residence and community outreach center in Berlin that will offer beds for terminally ill patients, palliative care, counseling, grief support, and community wellness programs.
Tickets to Blues on the Bay cost $75 per person. For more information and reservations, visit CoastalHospice.org or call 410-742-8732.
