D1: Trapping School Buckets

Every year Pennsylvania Trappers Association District 1 purchases 5 gallon plastic buckets for the students that attend the trapping school.

This year we acquired 70 buckets through CJ Logging , for only a $2.00 donation per bucket.

The program is called Log A Load For Kids in which CJ Logging has raised $3,600.00 and 100% of the funds raised goes to Children’s Miracle Network. This is a win – win for everybody involved.
