How it works

Each traveler pays for the cost of their trip out of their own pockets. Additionally, each traveler must raise at least $1,500 in donations for the Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Treatment Center. To join the Patagonia climb, please contact Kate Schwass at (805) 963-1433.

Travelers invite family, friends and colleagues to share in this experience by donating to the climb and/or pledging a designated amount for every level the climber reaches.

Donate to Patagonia!

As climbers reach their goals, money is raised to help the youth of the Daniel Bryant Center reach their objective of conquering drug and alcohol abuse. Summit for Danny is a cause that touches many lives and households, and we appreciate your financial support!

Climb for a cause!

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.

Mt. Kilamanjaro, Tanzania In 1999, Bob and Patty Bryant climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in an effort to raise funds to create a treatment program for adolescents in Santa Barbara. This event was named the “Summit for Danny.” In 2000, the Bryants lead a team of community leaders on a first ascent of an unnamed mountain in the Canadian Arctic. The funds raised from these two climbs enabled the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse to open the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Treatment Center on March 22, 2001.

Mt. Pisco, Peru In an effort to purchase a permanent home for the Daniel Bryant Center, Bob and Patty Bryant and a team of climbers successfully reached the peak of Peru’s 20,000 ft. Mount Pisco in 2004.

International climbs occur annually and all members of the community are welcome and encouraged to participate. Climbs are uniquely designed for all skill levels.
