给孩子写日志, 庆祝超过30年的奇迹, uses trees- Americas green renewable resource to create miracles for sick and injured children. 对于伐木工来说,这是一个筹集资金的机会, 林业界, and state forestry associations to work together to raise money for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Log a Load has chapters in 39 states and has raised over $50 million nationally.
One Hundred Percent of the money raised by Kentucky Log a Load stays in Kentucky and benefits the Kentucky Children’s Hospital located in Lexington, KY. 肯塔基州捐款超过750美元,000 to the children's hospital since the program started here in 1997.
The Kentucky 给孩子写日志 Committee raises funds through direct contributions from loggers, various fund raisers held by mills and the Kentucky Forest Industries Association throughout the year and silent auction at the Kentucky Wood Expo. The program also provides Christmas gifts for the kids each year and has participated in the pediatric cancer survivor picnic. Funds contributed to Kentucky Log a Load have been used for a variety of projects at the hospital. The program constructed two trees in the Treehouse Playroom and the Adolescent Lounge areas of the hospital. 这些树是康复中的孩子们的最爱.
The 给孩子写日志 program has also funded two 研究 endowments - one for heart disease and the other for health education that will work to prevent childhood diseases and work with special needs children. 这些捐赠给医院捐赠了50万美元. 我们最近完成的项目筹集了200美元,000 for the 给孩子写日志 Child Life Area which recently completed renovations.
A 12x18 foot wooden mural hangs in the Children’s Hospital showing both wildlife and forest scenes including active forest management that truly is impressive to everyone that enters the hospital. Log a Load can be proud of the wonderful impression this leaves on visitors to the hospital. Two additional murals have been completed and installed to raise the awareness of the Log a Load program within the clinics. This project has educated many children and parents about the significance of the wood industry 和我们的 most valuable renewable resource—TREES.
