Log A Load For Kids

 

Log A Load For Kids is a nationwide giving campaign through which loggers and other forest industry people contribute the value of a load of logs, or any amount, to local Children’s Miracle Network-affiliated hospitals and organize related fundraising events. One hundred percent of all contributions go to local CMN hospitals; overhead expenses are contributed separately by sponsoring associations, the Children’s Miracle Network, and corporate and private underwriting. There are currently Log A Load campaigns in 30 states and all Log a Load contributions in Kentucky go to the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital.

Log A Load was originally formed to provide any logger with an opportunity to contribute the value of a load of logs to a local CMN hospital. Loggers in Kentucky sometimes arrange for an amount to be deducted right at the mill gate at delivery. However, many other creative fundraising ideas have evolved, including sponsored golf tournaments, cookouts, log auctions, and raffles. As the program grows, wood industry interests continue to come up with new ways to help children’s hospitals meet their needs.

Employees of sawmills, pulp and paper mills, and other forest enterprises that depend on loggers are also finding many ways to help, by sponsoring fundraisers, making direct donations, and assisting in promotion and planning.
