The Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) is excited to announce its 25th annual Summit for Danny Community Climb, taking place in North County on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Orcutt Community Park. This milestone Silver Anniversary event invites families, friends, and community members to come together for a day of hiking, celebration, and community connection—while raising funds to support CADA’s Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Treatment Centers.
The Summit for Danny was created in honor of Danny Bryant, the late son of Bob Bryant, whose tragic passing from addiction inspired Bob and Patty Bryant to take action. Their vision led to the establishment of the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Treatment Centers, which continue to serve as a vital resource for youth and families struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Today, the Centers guide young people and their families toward recovery, resilience, and brighter futures.
This year’s Community Climb features two hiking options: a family-friendly 2–3-mile trail and a more challenging 4–5-mile route. After the hike, participants can enjoy some pizza, live music, and special award presentations.
A suggested pledge of $50 for adults and $25 for youth (ages 8–18) helps provide scholarships for families in need. Children 7 and under may participate in the hike and enjoy the meal for free.
Community leaders warmly invite everyone to join this inspiring day of hope, healing, and community spirit at Orcutt Community Park.
