This summer, just by dining out in Ocean City, you can help support a great cause. Dine United OC has ignited a little friendly competition between local restaurants to raise money for United Way to benefit residents in need on the Eastern Shore. Currently, 19 restaurants have gotten involved and each participating restaurant is offering menu specials that will benefit Dine United OC.

Embers Restaurant and Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar are taking the competition one step further, however. When you donate to the cause here, between June 15, 2016 and September 5, 2016,  you will automatically be entered into drawings for a two-night stay at La Quinta Inn in Ocean City, plus gift cards to Embers & Blu Crabhouse, Embers Island Miniature Golf and Candy Kitchen. The more you donate the better your odds are of winning!

See some of the participating restaurants below:
