Master Gunnery Sergeant and Future Operations Chief for the U.S. Marine Corps, Sean Brownlee, has shown steadfast advocacy for Operation Freedom Paws (OFP) and our mission. Sean is a highly respected member of both the military and civilian communities. In addition to his distinguished military service, Sean is the CEO of Ravenox, a top-rated Amazon retailer that manufactures and sells high-quality rope and cordage made in America. Needless to say, Sean wears many hats well. That’s why our founder and executive director, Mary Cortani, and the board members of Operation Freedom Paws were thrilled to hear he was ready to wear one more.

On a visit to OFP in May, Sean was officially asked to be an Honorary Ambassador of Operation Freedom Paws and accepted! He shares our mission values, commitment to those we serve, and a genuine desire to give back where his actions match his intent. Sean shared, “I’m proud to support Operation Freedom Paws’ essential mission and advocate on behalf of those who cannot. I hope this outreach will create a positive impact on those who need it most.”

When Sean became an OFP Ambassador, he was presented with a hand-crafted American flag created by our veteran client Ramon. Sean was incredibly touched by the gift and its message resonated with him on the deepest level. The flag is hung in a place of honor.

In his role, Sean will help drive awareness to our mission among decision-makers in the veteran community to broaden our resources and ability to reach more veterans in need. He will also
continue to help us open doors with businesses and corporations where their giving goals and our mission goals are passionately aligned, among other roles.

Sean has also generously shared the Operation Freedom Paws mission with his own customers, encouraging donations and giving 10% of the proceeds of Ravenox dog leash sales to our mission. If you have yet to discover Ravenox products, they carry everything from paracords and bracelets to birdhouses and dog products. Speaking of dogs, Sean has a deep love for them. The Ravenox mascot is his German Shepherd, Blitzen.

We’re honored to welcome Sean as an Honorary Ambassador of Operation Freedom Paws. Thank you for your integrity, business acumen, and heart, Sean. Our OFP team is excited to collaborate with you and amplify the ability for more veterans, first responders, children, and other individuals with disabilities to transform their lives. Please join us in congratulating Sean Brownlee
