Diego Gutierrez, Chicago Fire midfielder, battles with Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan during a Major League Soccer (MLS) match in Bridgeview, Illinois, in 2006. Born in Colombia, Gutierrez won the 2007 U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year award for his efforts on behalf of Nothing But Nets, a charity that fights the spread of malaria in Africa by donating mosquito nets.
