SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse Crunch goaltender Brandon Halverson has launched Halvy's Saves For Recovery fundraising program benefiting alcohol and drug recovery programs at Helio Health.

After losing his brother, Justin, in January of 2023, Halverson wanted to give back to the Syracuse community in a meaningful way. For every save he makes this season, Halverson is donating $1 to Helio Health to support programs for alcohol and drug recovery. Halverson has made 476 saves so far this season.

"We are incredibly grateful to Brandon and the Syracuse Crunch for support through the Halvy's Saves For Recovery program," said Helio Health President and CEO Kathleen Gaffney-Babb. "Brandon's willingness to turn his experience of personal loss into action speaks to his compassion and dedication to helping others. On behalf Helio Health, we thank him for his partnership and for helping individuals and families in our community."

Along with his personal donation, Halverson is encouraging Crunch fans to support the cause. To contribute to Halvy's Saves for Recovery and to learn more about the program, visit www.syracusecrunch.com/halvy.
