Summit for Danny in New Zealand A Success as Climbers Return

The Summit for Danny is the most anticipated annual fundraiser for the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center, a key program at the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (CADA). Each year the summit holds a local and an international event to raise funds for the center. The summits are designed and led by Bob and Patty Bryant. This year, the Summit for Danny International took place in New Zealand March 24 through April 1, with the Bryants leading a team of 20 volunteer climbers. Together they raised over $250,000 for the center. 

Longtime philanthropist and board member across multi-organizations, Cynder Sinclair said, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to raise much-needed funds for the Daniel Bryant Center while hiking through the magnificent countryside of New Zealand. As I hiked along, I thought about the youth who are struggling with addiction and their families who are grateful for help from CADA. This has been a powerful experience on so many levels.”

Echoing her sentiments, Bryant said, “The Summit for Danny New Zealand climb adventure was stellar! The team was amazing. Fellowship, sharing, and the quality of our guides added to our total enjoyment. New friendships were abundant, and a repeat of these hikes is guaranteed!”

The Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center provides life-changing outpatient treatment and critical services to youth in Santa Barbara County battling substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. The funds raised from this event will directly support these vital programs, ensuring that more teens can receive the help they need to turn their lives around.
