Some of our most popular ways to give to PCTA is through the Crest Circle monthly giving program.
PCT thru-hiker Al Wallace recently shared with us his reasons for joining. “I’m giving monthly starting this year. I had such a wonderful experience on my six month thru-hike of the PCT, I could not help myself. Completing the PCT at age 66 was one of the great adventures of my life. The PCT is a great example of our government and private sectors working together in a very unique and wonderful way. Thanks to everyone at PCTA for making my hike possible.”
The Crest Circle monthly giving program allows you to spread your annual donation throughout the year through monthly donations. You decide how much you wish to give ($5 per month minimum) and donations are charged to your credit card each month.
“It is a convenient way to give. It also allows me to contribute more than I would through an annual check,” says Al.

Al Wallace thru-hiked the PCT in 2015 at the age of 66.
The Crest Circle is also a perfect green option because donations are made electronically and eliminate renewal notices in your mailbox. Your membership stays current because your membership is automatically renewed each year. Plus you help provide a steady and predictable stream of support to protect, preserve and promote the trail.
Join or renew through the Crest Circle monthly giving program today. You can join online or you call us at (916) 285-1855.
