The Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) will hold its 26th annual Summit for Danny Community Climb on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at Elings Park. This family-friendly event offers participants the chance to gather in a breathtaking scenic park, hike, celebrate, and simultaneously raise funds for CADA’s Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Treatment Centers.

Born out of the devasting loss of their son Danny to addiction, Bob and Patty Bryant founded Santa Barbara’s first youth treatment center and have tirelessly committed their focus on providing the Santa Barbara community with a resource available to all youth suffering from substance abuseand co-occurring mental health issues. The Centers focus on guiding and supporting youth and their families on their paths to recovery, helping them build healthier futures. The Summit for Danny Community Climb is an opportunity to bring the community together to celebrate healing and resiliency, while raising funds to provide treatment scholarships for youth and families in need. 

Participants can choose between two scenic hiking trails—an easy 2–3-mile route or a more challenging 4–5-mile option. After the hike, everyone is welcome to gather and enjoy a BBQ, award presentations and live entertainment as part of the day’s festivities. A pledge of $50 is recommended for adults, and $25 for youth ages 8-18, with children 7 and under hiking and eating for free.

Community leaders invite everyone to join them for the Summit for Danny at Elings Park!
