Cotton companies and delegates showed their support and raised a total of £11,431.78. Taking into consideration the costs of the prizes, this leaves £9,606.78 donated directly to the charity. Sincere thanks to all those who contributed so generously."
Adding to Mr Butler's thanks, Claire House Area Manager, Helen Carlson said: "On behalf of Claire House I would like to say a huge and heartfelt thank you to ICA for choosing Claire House to partner with them for this fantastic event.
To raise such an enormous amount of money from an international event really does show the global support people have for children with life shortening illnesses. I hope every single donor understands just how much of a difference they have made.
