Chamber recognizes PNC as $500 Rip Wave Sponsor

The Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce recognized PNC Bank for becoming a $500 Rip Wave Sponsor of the chamber’s annual events including the Spring and Fall Sidewalk Sales, the 37th Annual Sandcastle Contest and the 26th Annual Sea Witch Halloween and Fiddlers' Festival.

As a nonprofit organization, the chamber has reached out to its membership for additional sponsorship of chamber events including the Sea Witch Halloween and Fiddlers’ Festival. The growth of the Sea Witch Festival has created new safety, security and transportation needs, pushing the event budget to over $100,000.

The festival’s mission is not to create profit for the chamber, but to produce an economic impact for the business community by bringing visitation to the resort area. Many nonprofit and community organizations such as the Sussex Family YMCA, Rehoboth Beach Museum, Rehoboth Art League, Cape Henlopen High School Band, Mariner Middle School and more benefit from the event.

It is the generosity of members like PNC Bank that enables the chamber to continue to produce quality activities that draw visitors to the area each year. For more information, call the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce at 302-227-6446 or go to www.beach-fun.com.
