About travel beCAUSE

Customized travel with a philanthropic twist

Fundraising is a difficult job.

​It’s hard to come up with fresh new fundraising ideas, while avoiding the risk of wearing out your long-time donors and volunteers. 

As a travel agent and small business, I loved the idea of making travel charitable. So, I started with the concept of “Your vacation. Our donation.” When a client booked a trip, I would donate a portion of my proceeds to the charity of their choice. But…I’m ready to make a bigger impact!

That’s how travel beCAUSE was born.

My vision was clear: Exclusive, custom-designed group travel vacations that organizations can offer to their supporters, with a portion of the trip’s proceeds going back to the organization.

And what does this mean to you? It means effortless fundraising that creates great experiences for your entire organization, giving your staff, leadership, and supporters the opportunity to bond, make memories, and come back with a refreshed commitment to your organization’s success.

About Christine

​My life has been defined by two major passions my parents passed down to me: philanthropy and travel. 

​As a kid, my mother would take me with her to do meal and grocery deliveries to house-bound senior citizens, through Meals on Wheels and the Humanitarian Service Project. While I resisted at first (what kid wouldn’t rather be out playing, right?) I quickly got hooked on the amazing feeling of giving back, of making a difference in peoples’ lives.

My dad, on the other hand, gave me an incurable case of wanderlust. A high-school German teacher, he’d bring me with him during class trips to Germany. Before even getting to college, I’d seen much of Europe, which only made me crave seeing the rest of the world.

I’ve mentioned two of my passions, but there’s a third one: integrity. 

I strongly believe that what you offer is only as good as your word. That philosophy is the foundation of travel beCAUSE, and means that every single supporter who goes on a travel beCAUSE trip will be personally taken care of by me. 

Whether it’s a medical emergency, weather-related delays, understanding required documentation, or confirming a dress code, your supporters can count on me being there for them every single step of the way, smoothing out any bumps, taking care of their every need, and giving them one of the best experiences of their life. ​
