July 19, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 93 Benefit The Bays Day Fundraiser Set For July 28 BERLIN – Are you looking for a fun way to douse those brutal daytime temperatures? How about if you could benefit a local non-profit that works to keep the coastal waters swimmable and fishable? Too good to be true? Not if you join Assateague Coastal Trust (ACT) and the Assateague Coastkeeper at this year’s annual “Benefit the Bays Day” at Jolly Roger to be held Sunday, July 28, at Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street and Coastal Highway in Ocean City. Benefit the Bays offers discounted entry to Splash Mountain water park (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) and to Jolly Roger’s two mini-golf courses (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) and amusement rides (2-6 p.m.). Play all day on July 28 for just $30 per ticket – a huge savings off the park price – or save even more with four or more tickets at only $25 each. “Benefit the Bays is a chance for local families and visitors alike to beat the heat and support our efforts to keep our bays clean for swimming and fishing,” said Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips. “You get a full day of fun for a great price at Ocean City’s premier water and amusement park and at the same time support the Coastkeeper’s in-the-water and on-the-ground efforts to stop pollution in our coastal bays.” You can also enter to win a "Benefit the Bays" prize package, which will include four free tickets to Jolly Roger for the July 28 event, plus a Tshirt and water bottle from the Assateague Coastal Trust. To enter, "friend" the Assateague Coastkeeper on Facebook and post a photo that illustrates what "swimmable and fishable' coastal waters means to you. Get your friends to "like" your photo on the Assateague Coastkeeper Facebook page. The photo with the most "likes" by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24, will win the prize package. The photo with the second-most "likes" will receive two free tickets to Jolly Roger for July 28. Tickets are now on sale, and may be purchased by phone at 410-6291538 or on the web at www.actforbays.org.
