ILC breaks £1m fundraising milestone

28th March 2022

The I Love Claims (ILC) community surpassed the £1m fundraising milestone for the Rainbow Trust during the Motor Claims Networking Lunch 2022.

Taking place on Friday, 25 March at The Grand Connaught Rooms, London the annual event featured a live auction, silent auction and prize draws to raise funds for the charity which supports families who have a child with life-threatening or terminal illness.

Headlined by Enterprise Rent A Car, this year’s event saw over £70,000 raised in the live auction alone with some incredible lots on offer including race car experiences, a special helicopter flight and dinner package, a holiday to Thailand, golf days, overnight stays and football match hospitality.

Final figures for the silent auction and prize draw fundraising on the day are to be announced.

Chris Ashworth, Chairman of ILC, said, “We are immensely proud to be associated with this incredible charity and I would like say a huge thank you to each and every one of you for all your support.

“We had some very generous donations in the lead up to the event and on the day, which coupled with our ‘usual’ fundraising activity during the event meant we sailed through the £1m milestone – a truly significant and humbling experience.

“Thank you, once again, to the ILC community for all your generosity and support – it’s incredibly heartwarming to be part of such a caring business sector.”
