Haxel Law gives back to better humanity.
Troops and Cops for Kids Foundation:
A charitable foundation that sponsors the annual Troops and Cops for Kids hockey game known as “the biggest charitable hockey game of the year.” Donations are dedicated to the HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the building of a sensory gym at the new pediatric rehabilitation facility at the outpatient center in the Women and Children’s Clinic. The approximately 2,300-square-foot sensory gym will have a creative and fun therapy environment for children of all ages, with a playhouse, a rock wall, suspension equipment and more. The lively atmosphere will encourage peer interaction, build coordination and gross motor skills, promote fine motor and handwriting activities, develop strength and stimulate sensory processing. This year’s effort raised more than $21,000, and in three years, Troops and Cops for Kids has raised more than $47,000 for the kids at St. John’s. Haxel Law is proud to be the premier sponsor of this annual fundraising tradition.
Catholic Charities Legal Services (CCLS):
This community-based, quality legal services program helps people with little to no income in obtaining pro bono legal assistance in civil matters from area lawyers and attorneys in specialized fields while also providing compassion, empathy and a listening ear to all who come seeking help. Through the CCLS program, the program director matches a client’s legal case with an area lawyer who has agreed to represent him or her in the court of law. Catholic Charities believes that, regardless of a person’s ability to pay, every human being has the right to competent legal representation and justice under the law. CCLS is bridging the justice gap through compassionate pro bono legal services. Read more

St. Agnes Parish:
Founded in 1888, St. Agnes Parish is one of the largest Catholic churches in the Springfield diocese and enjoys an actively involved parish community. The first St. Agnes School was built in 1897 and was staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois. This began a relationship between the Dominican Sisters and our parish that has continued into the present day. Haxel Law supports St. Agnes Parish as a sponsor of the weekly bulletin and the annual parish directory. Read more
