The cots, valued at $6000 each, are used by parents who have stillborn babies.
Alex and Nick Cooke organised the event in honour of her friends, Karen and Andrew Mooney, who had a stillborn baby (Campbell) earlier this year.
“We’ve raised $15,000, but there should be some more coming in,” Mrs Cooke said.
Cuddle cots have a cooling element which allows the stillborn baby to stay with the parents for a longer period of time to assist with the grieving process.
