Giving Back
IKCRW is a listener-supported radio station, broadcasting from Santa Monica College on 89.9 FM, throughout Los Angeles and much of Southern California. KCRW is a groundbreaking organization for music, arts and culture, in addition to hosting culture and music events throughout Southern California. KCRW also broadcasts many well-known programs, such as NPR’s All Things Considered and the KCRW-originated, Morning Becomes Eclectic. Since moving to Los Angeles over a decade ago, KCRW’s music and programming has been a central part of Mr. Haines’ life, and he feels a commitment to ensure that this unique and culturally-important organization has the ability to continue putting out unbiased and forward-thinking programming to the community. Haines Law Group is a proud member of KCRW’s Champion Circle.
Give Me Sight is another organization in which Haines Law Group takes much pride, especially given that the organization was founded by Mr. Haines’ father and ophthalmologist Dr. John H. Haines. Over the past 25 years, Dr. Haines had led 30 mission trips restoring sight to thousands of individuals in the most remote and poverty stricken corners of the globe. Unlike many non-profit organizations, 100% of all donations to Give Me Sight go directly towards restoring vision to those in need. Mr. Haines has had the opportunity to join his father on several of these missions, which have been life-changing experiences.
Road Dogs & Rescue rescues bulldog breeds primarily focused on complicated medical dogs, seniors and special needs puppies. They are the most likely to be euthanized, often dumped at shelters or abandoned at veterinary clinics. After adopting his adorable partially blind French Bulldog “Winky” from Road Dogs, Mr. Haines wanted to give back to an organization that has given so much to him and his family. Mr. Haines currently sits on the board of directors and Haines Law Group sponsors all accounting services for this wonderful non-profit. Each dollar donated is a life transformed.
