Clean, sandy beaches, warm sunshine, flourishing tourism, and great summertime deals attract millions of vacationers to Ocean City each season. Unfortunately, like any area, underneath those breathtaking views and thriving surf shops, restaurants, and beachfront rentals are surrounding areas in need of support.
Join us in soaking up the sun at the beach while simultaneously helping the community! The first ever Stay United OC campaign will raise money for the United Way of the Eastern Shore through competitions among the local hotels to see who can have the highest donation: a fun competition for businesses, and a positive impact on the surrounding areas.
This is a second portion of the United OC campaign to raise awareness and support for the community, following the Dine United OC competition that arose last year and raised over $44,000!
Before we look at exactly who will be doing what, let’s take a look at how the United Way nonprofit organization benefits the community.
