WHAT IS LOG A LOAD FOR KIDS?

Log A Load For Kids® is a nationwide giving campaign through which loggers and others contribute to local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to provide medical care to kids in need, regardless of their families' ability to pay. 100% of every dollar raised by Log A Load volunteers and events stay in their local community.

HOW DID LOG A LOAD FOR KIDS GET STARTED?

In 1988, a dedicated telethon volunteer with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), William (Bill) Boyce of Boyce Distributors, SC Yemassee loggers Larry and Carol Connelly, and Telethon Coordinator for MUSC Hospital, Lorraine "Rainey" Evans, played key roles in establishing the Log A Load For Kids campaign through the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Telethon.

The basic concept of Log A Load For Kids is for loggers and wood-supplying businesses to donate the value of a load of logs, or any amount, to a nearby Children's Miracle Network Hospital to be used to improve critical care and outcomes for children, families, and communities. In addition, special fundraising events are organized by Log A Load For Kids volunteers to supplement donations to the hospitals. The South Carolina Forestry Association took this concept and developed the first successful Log A Load For Kids program to raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
