Logan's Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Join us on August 29 at 5:00 p.m. at The Master’s School for the groundbreaking and dedication of our new playground: "The Logan Schoenhardt Memorial Playground, Dedicated to Joy." 🎈

Logan was a cherished student at The Master’s School until he was called home at the age of 11 in 2017. His courageous battle with cancer began when he was just three years old, and through it all, Logan’s life was a powerful testament to the true meaning of joy. His legacy continues to inspire our community, reminding us of the resilience, hope, and love that come from faith in God.

This fall, our students will have the joy of playing on a new playground while honoring Logan’s memory. The evening will begin with an introduction of Matt and Jo (Logan’s parents), followed by uplifting performances from our children’s choir and a special poem reading.

The groundbreaking and dedication will be immediately followed by our Back to School Celebration. Please bring your picnic dinner and a blanket or chairs to enjoy on the school green — we’ll be passing out frozen treats to keep everyone cool!

We hope to see you on this meaningful night as we gather to celebrate Logan’s life, the new playground, and the lasting impact of his joyful spirit on our school community.

1 in 3 families caring for a child with cancer will lose over half of their annual income. We want to pay their bills, but we need your help.

Logan's Foundation for Childhood Cancer provides a monthly stipend to families currently battling pediatric cancer, to pay for household essentials.
