CADA’s 2025 Summit for Danny in New Zealand Seeking Funding

Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) has scheduled its annual Summit for Danny Fundraiser, this year hiking New Zealand’s summits from Christchurch to Queenstown, March 24 to April 1. Members of the community are welcome and encouraged to participate. Climbs are uniquely designed for all skill levels.

At this time, CADA is asking for donations on the occasion of the summit. All climbers pay for the cost of the trip themselves, so every dollar people donate goes directly to the Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Center. 

Since it opened in 2001, the Bryant Youth & Family Center has served 5,500 youth. 

On May 23, 1995, Bob Bryant’s son, Danny, died of a drug overdose. Like many other parents who have suffered the loss of a child to alcohol and other drugs, Bob was determined to turn his tragedy into hope for others by raising funds to create an adolescent treatment center. In an effort to support the ongoing operations of the Daniel Bryant Center, Bob and Patty Bryant and a team of climbers successfully reached the peak of Peru’s 20,000 foot Mount Pisco in 2004. Since then, teams of climbers have gone to Ecuador, Bhutan, Patagonia, Mont Blanc, Bosnia, New Zealand, the historic Camino de Santiago in Spain, Norway, Dolomites, Southern Iceland, Switzerland, Whales, and last year Chile.
