At Raine we are not just a magazine. Of course we believe in the entrepreneur and our mission has always been to tell the stories of the "up and coming," and the undiscovered gems in the creative industries. Like you, we have other interest that we like to share from time to time. We believe in giving back to the communities and people in which we serve, which is why we are so honored when we have the opportunity to talk about organizations that are doing just that; giving people a chance to live with dignity and bringing smiles to their faces.
