There will also be prosecco on the night and the first 100 guests will receive goodie bags. All proceeds including ticket prices will go directly to Variety, a children’s non- profit charity that helps children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

The event MC will be Louise Cantillon from Spin South West. There are also many local Limerick businesses involved who have provided fabulous prizes for attendees. The fashion show on the night will include a male and female section, with outfits from Dani’s Closet, Showroom and Aoife McNamara, a local fashion designer.

This is a part of their “Beauty with a Purpose” event for Miss Ireland, which are events that the contestants have to organise themselves every year for a specific charity. Usually, each contestant organises their own separate event, but Christina, Ciara, and Emma organized it together to try and raise as many vital funds as possible.
