Boomarang Bistro's Adam Zakharoff with the Sydney Swans jumper from the Christchurch fundraiser.

Yesterday, the Sydney Swans jumper that was donated to the Christchurch earthquake appeal in Saigon (see Sydney Swans push Christchurch fundraiser in Saigon tonight) was hung on the wall of the Boomarang Bistro – home of the Vietnam Swans’ 2011 AFL Grand Final Party in Saigon.

The jumper was bought by the Vietnam Swans.

A plaque will be added to the framed jumper which says:

On 22 February 2011, a devastating earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand.

In Saigon, the New Zealand Chamber of Commerce responded by holding a fundraiser that raised more than USD100,000.

The Sydney Swans supported the cause by generously donating two signed jumpers for auction. The above jumper was bought by the Vietnam Swans.

Signatures: (Coach) John Longmire and (Co-Captains) Adam Goodes and Jarrad McVeigh.

The AFL’s Footy Record also ran an article in its 1-3 April 2011 issue titled, Vietnam Swans kick in to aid NZ Quake victims. A copy of the original article has been included with the framed jumper.
