Buff Inc., U.S. subsidiary of Original Buff SA and creators of versatile performance headwear, renewed of their longstanding partnership with the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) as a Columbia River partner.

Santa Rosa, CA-based Buff continues to support the mission of the PCTA to protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, making sure the 2,650-mile-long wild and scenic pathway from Mexico to Canada is in the best condition for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

“This will be our third year as Columbia River Partners,” said Shirley Choi Brunetti, VP and general manager, Buff Inc. “The Pacific Crest Trail provides millions with the chance to be active and stay healthy. Here at Buff we’re passionate about adventure in our natural surroundings so it gives us great pleasure to support the incredible work done by volunteers of the PCTA, who are protecting this world-class scenic trail.”

Angie Williamson for the PCTA said, “We are proud to once again partner with Buff. Their support feeds, trains and equips our volunteers, protects the trail and makes our work possible. Each donation represents a commitment and connection to the Pacific Crest Trail.”

On top of financial support, Buff provides a number of their signature Original Buff Pacific Crest products for the PCTA to use for volunteer appreciation gifts every year.

The PCTA is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the entire Pacific Crest Trail. The PCTA coordinates trail maintenance and volunteer training, advocates for the trail with elected leaders and government land managers and provides information about using the trail.
