Log A Load for Kids

Log A Load For Kids is part of the Children's Miracle Network (CMN), a nonprofit organization committed to helping sick and injured children of all ages, regardless of their affliction or ability to pay. The Children's Miracle Network sponsors 161 hospitals nationwide.

Log A Load for Kids began in 1988 in South Carolina. Loggers from all over the country donate the value of one load of "logs," or any amount they can to help make hospital stays easier for sick or injured children. In 1996, Log A Load for Kids raised over $1.6 million, which was donated to children's hospitals throughout the country.

The IFIC Board of Directors voted to support Log A Load for Kids and begin a campaign for Indiana loggers to join other loggers from across the country already part of this wonderful cause.

The Log A Load For Kids program provides an opportunity for IFIC members to help sick or injured children and truly make a difference in the lives of our most precious resource.
