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.
