Richmond Breathe Free, an ear, nose and throat clinic located at 4101 Cox Road, Suite 300, announced its support for the C4 Foundation, an organization that supports Navy SEALs and their families.

National Breathe Free Sinus and Allergy, the parent company of Richmond Breathe Free, hosted a February 22 event in Phoenix to support the organization.

"Breathe Free takes great pride in its support of the C4 Foundation and the families of SEALs," said Taylor Borane, the Chief Operations Officer of National Breathe Free Sinus and Allergy. "The C4 Ranch serves as a unique sanctuary exclusively for active-duty SEALs and their loved ones, providing a space for them to reunite, develop resilience, and undergo healing. It is a place where brave warriors gain wisdom and families thrive."

The February event, a “Heavies Happy Hour,” honored veterans and celebrated the group “Live Heavy Arizona,” a C4-affiliated group that is raising money to construct the Arizona House.

The Arizona House is the new venture by the C4 Foundation that will provide lodging for Navy SEAL families to access the services of the C4 Ranch. Live Heavy Arizona is raising funds to cover the construction costs of the Arizona House.

The C4 Ranch is operated by the C4 Foundation, a 560-acre retreat 90 minutes east of San Diego meant for Navy SEALs and their families to rest and restrengthen their bonds and relationships, according to the organization's website. The C4 Ranch serves “a sanctuary for Navy SEALs and their families to detach, live in the moment, and heal, with nature as the backdrop and neuroscience as the guide.” The ranch offers beautiful scenery, secluded cabins, recreational facilities, and many different programs to help visitors.

According to National Breathe Free Sinus and Allergy's website, Borane was recruited by the organization due to his experience in the healthcare, hospitality, and medical device industries. Prior to joining National Breathe Free, Borane held leadership positions in these industries, specifically in the Ear, Nose and Throat space. Borane has a Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University and a Master of Business Administration from Grand Canyon University.

Richmond Breathe Free is an ear, nose and throat clinic that “specializes in providing patients with long-lasting treatments for the underlying causes of their ENT conditions.” Their team includes Dr. John Ditto, who is specially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies, according to the organization's website.
