About Us

During a visit to Guyana in April 2006, Patrick and Paul Haynes met with former teammates and coaches whilst attending a basketball game at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Guyana where they observed that the game of basketball and the Sports Hall had literally deteriorated. This prompted the brothers to do something for the game, hence the establishment of the Haynes Foundation Inc., which is a registered nonprofit public charity of New Jersey, USA and is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) within the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) of the United States of America.
