UWLES Launches Tenth Year of Dine, Stay & Play United

OCEAN CITY, Md. – The United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES) has announced their 10th season of of their Dine, Stay, and Play United program.

The program, hosted in partnership with the Ocean City Maryland Hospitality Association, allows local restaurants, hotels, entertainment and sporting venues to sign up promotional offers and designate a portion of proceeds to UWLES. Last summer, local hospitality and recreational organizations raised over $23,000. UWLES officials say the program is a unique opportunity for locals and visitors to help support the hospitality and tourism industry while giving back through philanthropic-minded Worcester County businesses, from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

“Our participation in the United Way Dine & Stay Program reflects our commitment to giving back locally,” says Bobbi Jones, General Manager at Ocean Downs Casino. “Thanks to the support of our guests and team, we raised $3,300 in 2025 to help United Way and we look forward to exceeding that in 2026, continuing our support of families and strengthening our community.”

Participants benefit from free digital and print marketing through radio promotion, digital ads, television commercials, and social media campaigns throughout the summer. Restaurants, lodging, and entertainment businesses of any size are welcome to participate.
