Queen Jessica Lynn Haynie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Haynie of Reedville, will preside over the seasonal festivities celebrating the 127th Holly Ball.
The Holly Ball originated in 1895 and began operating as the fundraising arm of the Tidewater Foundation in the 1950s. The Tidewater Foundation anticipates the proceeds of the 2023 Holly Ball will have a far-reaching impact on the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, as it disperses funds to a diverse group of recipients, reported publicity chairman Patricia Gallagher.
Miss Haynie will act as the official hostess of the gala fundraiser. The Haynie family has chosen Hillary Pugh Kent orator of the 127th Holly Ball. The Queen’s community service project is to raise funds to outfit a Smith Point Sea Rescue vessel.
