The Vietnam Swans’ Treasurer, Rowan Luke, from the Commonwealth Bank, has this afternoon announced details of the  amount of money raised for charity at the 2012 ANZAC Friendship Match.

Rowan has confirmed that,

“The net funds for distribution to charity are VND20,938,000 (USD1,005.67). Hence, our two charities, Swim Vietnam and the Centre for the Protection of Children in Vung Tau and Long Hai, will each receive VND10,469,000.

“Total gate and raffle ticket takings for the day were VND33,973,000 and our costs in organising the day were VND12,035,000 producing the net figure available for distribution.

“The costs incurred included items such as permits for holding the event, banners, sound system, water etc.”

The Vietnam Swans would like to thank everyone who came to the ANZAC Friendship Match and helped to raise this amount for charity.

Again, we would like to acknowledge and thanks the China Reds who separately, donated an additional $750 to the Centre for the Protection of Children.

UPDATE: Jo Stewart, Swim Vietnam. This is fantastic news!  Please convey our thanks to all at the Vietnam Swans.  We have a huge summer coming up as we are just about to start building an in-ground pool in Hoi An and putting up another above-ground pool in Duy Xuyen. So, all support we receive is going to be well used and hugely appreciated.
