In 2018, the Transamerica Saves Campaign was created to support the American Heart Association's (AHA) ongoing commitment to promote the habits of healthy eating and heart-healthy lifestyles as integral to achieving a sound financial outlook. $500 was donated to the American Heart Association for every save a Rapids goalkeeper made.

This season, Tim Howard and Zac MacMath made a combined 128 saves, generating a $64,000 contribution to the AHA by Transamerica.
