Sean-Patrick M. Hillman ’90 and his wife, Kylie, started a new charity called Rock & Rawhide. Its mission is to raise awareness for animal kill shelters, reduce the stress of those animals and ultimately increase adoptions. Because the animals at these shelters suffer extreme stress from terrible living conditions and many other factors that contribute to behavioral issues, Rock & Rawhide is focused on providing these animals toys to serve as occupational therapy. By lowering their stress and allowing them to express their real personalities to potential adopters, Rock & Rawhide is helping give them a second chance.
