Record-Shattering Year for Log A Load – Piedmont District!
What happens when the logging community, local families, and outdoor enthusiasts join forces for a great cause? History is made.
On April 11, 2026, the Log A Load For Kids Piedmont District hosted its annual skeet shoot and live auction, and the results were nothing short of extraordinary. This year’s event raised a record-breaking $155,527 for the children and families at Children’s of Alabama.
By the Numbers
The energy at the range was electric, fueled by friendly competition and a shared mission to support pediatric healthcare.
- Massive Turnout: 86 teams and 17 individual participants registered for this year’s skeet shoot.
- Auction Excellence: Live and silent auctions were the stars of the show, bringing in over $84,000 thanks to the incredible generosity of prize donors and auction bidders.
- Grand Total: The $155,527 raised marks a new milestone for the Piedmont District’s signature event!
More Than Just a Shoot
This year’s event was a true community festival. While the shooters were on the course, families enjoyed:
- The Equipment Display: Kids (and kids at heart) got an up-close look at the massive machinery that keeps our industry moving.
- ‘Guess the Load’ Contest: A crowd favorite that tested everyone’s estimation skills!
- Food Trucks: Keeping everyone fueled with local favorites throughout the day.
