Time for the Annual Summits for Danny CADA Fundraisers
Registration and donations are now open for the October round of the Annual Summit for Danny Fundraiser to support the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse [CADA], which has been helping the community for 73 years.
The Santa Barbara summit is scheduled for October 19 at Elings Park. Register as an individual or come in teams! The biggest team is awarded a traveling trophy.
A minimum pledge of $50 is required for adults to participate, $25 for youth ages 8-18, and kids 7 and under hike free. Teams can be sponsored. Dogs are welcome.
The north county hike is October 12, from 9 am to 1 pm. Select your choice of trails – a 4.1- or 2.1-mile loop along the Rice Ranch Valley with views of the Santa Maria Valley, Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre Mountains. There is a post-hike BBQ and entertainment TBA. Donations are $15 per adult and youth under 15 are free.
All donations are tax-deductible and provide scholarships for teens in low-income families to receive substance abuse treatment at the Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Centers.
This annual effort was started by Bob Bryant when he lost his son, Daniel, to this issue. The Summit for Danny has been hosted from high challenge mountain ranges in Ecuador to local hikes. Bryant has been an athlete his entire life along with his Iron Woman wife, Patty Bryant. This inspiring hike – and meeting the Bryants – is a great chance to give what seems nominal yet provides much.
