Log A Load originated in South Carolina in 1988 to demonstrate logger commitment to community service and professionalism.
The concept was for loggers and wood supplying businesses to donate the value of a load of logs to a Children’s Miracle Network affiliated hospital. Funds were used in treating ill and injured children.

The Taylor twins spent their first 4 weeks at MUSC Children’s Hospital, and attended the event to show their appreciation to all the donors. The event co-chairs are holding artwork done by MUSC kids for thank you gifts for 10 year sponsors Georgetown Kraft Credit Union and Pioneer Machinery. $35,200 was raised for MUSC Children’s Hospital at the Klays for Kids event sponsored by the SC Forestry Association’s Log-A-Load for Kids program.
