SUPPORT OUR BENEFITING NON-PROFIT:
We warmly invite you to offer your goodwill and generosity and contribute to this year’s Boutique Travel Advisors™ beneficiary of our event proceeds, Chase Rauchle PTSD NOW!. We are pleased to have named the foundation’s founders, Julie & Craig Rauchle, our event’s honorary chairs.
Chase Rauchle PTSD NOW! (the “Organization”) is named after Craig Rauchle’s son. Chase Rauchle was a staff sergeant in the Army National Guard who suffered from PTSD arising out of his tours of duty as a gunner in Afghanistan. After numerous failed attempts to receive help, Chase took his own life on September 9, 2019. In honor of SSG Chase W. Rauchle, “Chase Rauchle PTSDNOW! Fund” has been established. All funds raised will be used for support, education and treatment of stress related disorders, depression, PTSD and related mental illnesses.
If you are unable to attend our event on November 15th, 2024, we welcome you to make a donation to PTSD NOW! to help make a positive difference in advocating for effective solutions to support military personnel mental health. Visit www.ptsdnow.org to make a monetary donation to PTSD NOW!

NAVIGATING FOR A CAUSE:
Boutique Travel Advisors™ Supports PTSD NOW!
Boutique Travel Advisors™ is committed to giving back to our community and driving awareness and support toward meaningful causes. We are proud to announce our 2024 Beneficiary: PTSD NOW!, a Nevada-based non-profit on a mission to radically improve the veteran mental healthcare system and reduce suicide among U.S. Military personnel by advocating for better prevention, identification, and treatment of depression, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
PTSD NOW! is focused to educate policymakers, develop improved military protocols, and fund specialized counseling services for veterans. The organization is currently funding and implementing successful, innovative initiatives in the National Guard across several states including the Purple Resolve program. This program emphasizes solutions focused on proactive prevention and resilience rather than crisis management, to effectively support the wellbeing of individuals and the families of those who serve our country.
At the heart of Boutique Travel Advisors™, we believe travel can be a transformative and healing modality by empowering and inspiring individuals and fostering social and cultural understanding on a collective level. By partnering with PTSD NOW! as our 2024 Beneficiary, we are helping contribute to their mission of enhancing veterans’ wellbeing through access to mental health treatments, resources, and support upon returning home from duty, safe and sound.
