In what has been earmarked by the GC SUNS as the “Foundation Members” Round, the match-day jumper against the Demons will feature the names of the 847 inaugural 2009 members that have maintained their passion and support for the Gold Coast SUNS since the Bid team were awarded the 17^th AFL license. 

A specially produced commemorative Guernsey will be worn on field this weekend as the Gold Coast SUNS celebrate foundation members Round and honour those who have achieved five consecutive years of Club membership. 

Each of the match-day jumpers worn by the GC SUNS players will then be placed on auction immediately following the game, while a specific range of retail products have also been produced, allowing each member the opportunity to purchase a piece of their own history.
