WTR: Jon Busch (Saves for SEALs) & Jim Dolan (Healer Warrrior Initiative)

Jon Busch, goalkeeper for the Chicago Fire, continues to make big saves, on and off the field.

Since 2011, the seasoned veteran of Major League Soccer and the 2008 MLS Goalie of the Year has spearheaded the Saves for SEALs program, which aims to support the families of fallen U.S. Navy SEALs via the Navy SEAL Foundation. After tremedous success for the program during his final three seasons with the San Jose Earthquakes, Busch is again championing a cause near and dear to his heart in 2015.

Busch a native New Yorker was among those to lose a family member in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. As the 10th anniversary of the attacks approached in 2011, Busch was moved to honor the families of fallen warriors in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting the Navy SEAL Foundation. From there, the Saves for SEALs program was launched.
