About Us
Log a Load for Kids has raised approximately $15 million nationally to help sick and injured children. Individuals and businesses in the community contribute to help local children’s hospitals. You can be sure that donations to Log a Load for Kids help children close to your home.

Log a Load for Kids was established by the South Carolina Forestry Association in 1988. The program began when loggers and others in the timber industry donated revenue from a load of logs to a nearby Children’s Miracle Network affiliated hospital. Log a Load for Kids is one of CMN’s largest sponsors. Funds raised through this program have improved the quality of care available to children and even helped save children’s lives.

Initially the program began with loggers and other members donating revenue from a load of logs or pulpwood. Today we have grown to a full year program involving special events. Proceeds provide necessary funding to support the area’s sickest and most seriously injured kids. To offset some of the rising costs of healthcare, Log a Load for Kids conducts fundraisers such as golf tournaments, clay shoots, horse trail rides and other events.

Your donation will help us build brighter tomorrows for patients at area children’s hospitals that include Duke Children’s Hospital, University Health Systems, and Levine Children’s Hospital.

On behalf of the children and their families, we thank you for your consideration.

One story… Micole Holley
Age 14, Affliction: Bone cancer

A role model at her middle school, Micole Holley of Butner, N.C., is on the honor roll, plays the trumpet in the school band, was elected vice president of the Career Exploration Club, and was named Student of the Month for the entire school. She’s done it all despite a battle for her life against bone cancer.
It was a sunny afternoon in October when Micole, then 10, was playing with classmates in the schoolyard and suddenly fell. Though she’d had pain in her right leg for weeks, this time she couldn’t stand up. The diagnosis of bone cancer changed everything. Micole was hospitalized 30 times in the first 10 months of treatment and underwent a seven-hour surgery to replace the diseased bone in her leg with a steel rod.

When she faced intense physical therapy to learn to walk again, Micole dove in without hesitation. When she lost her hearing as an unexpected side effect of a chemotherapy drug, she chose the most colorful red, white and blue hearing aids she could find. When asked what her future holds, 14-year-old Micole, now cancer free, lists Harvard Law School, a career as a criminal lawyer and someday the long robes of a respected judge. No one doubts her for a second
