Log A Load for Kids is a national campaign in which participating logging contractors and other members of the forestry community donate the value of a truck-load of logs to a children’s hospital in their community or participate in related fund-raising projects. One hundred percent of the donation goes to help children – NO money is deducted for administrative costs. The South Carolina Forestry Association, working with the Children’s Miracle Network, started this annual campaign in 1988, and it has now spread to over 30 other states. Since the Mississippi Loggers Association began sponsoring the Log A Load for Kids program in Mississippi in 1994, it has contributed over $760,384.00 to the Children’s Hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. This contribution has been a benefit to the more than 70,000 young Mississippians that come to that hospital each year for treatment. MLA was granted the First Place Award by Mississippi Society of Association Executives in November 1997, for its work with this program. As a state, Mississippi is not the highest contributor to the program, but we are among the most dedicated. We work very closely with Tena McKenzie, public relations director at the Children’s Hospital in Jackson. Over the past ten years, we have held various events in our state, such as toy walks, auctions, raffles and publication of our own cookbook. We have T-shirts and caps for sale at local events, at our industry conventions, and at the MLA office. Should you want to make a donation in honor of a loved one or in memory of them, we will send a card notifying the family of your gift. Please contact the MLA office for more information. Donations can be mailed to: PO Box 659 Quitman, MS 39355
