Miss Donegal Holly Mc Crea and her family opened up their home today to host a vintage tea party in aid of Variety Ireland.
A warm welcome and a sweet treat awaited everyone who arrived at The Cove Lodge B&B in Donegal Town for the event this Saturday afternoon.

The fundraiser was organised in support of Variety Ireland, a non-profit children’s charity that helps children who are sick, disadvantaged and have special needs. Guests offered donations and entered a raffle with prizes kindly sponsored by local businesses.
As a Miss Ireland 2019 finalist, Holly has enthusiastically embraced the pageant’s charity partnership with Variety. The ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ element of the competition is a perfect fit for Holly who, as a teacher, is passionate about working with children with special educational needs.
Some of Holly’s friends from the Bluestacks Special Needs Foundation where she volunteers also came along to enjoy the fundraiser.
