Logan's Playground Toy Drive

Every year at this time, for the last 7 years, people from the phoenix leather community have worked together to gather toys for Logan's Playground.

Logan's Playground then gives those toys out to children with or affected by HIV/AIDS. They have a gift giving time with holidays from around the world represented, and this year it looks like enough toys were collected to give each child more than one. Hundreds of children and their families will be at the holiday party, and the Sisters are glad to have been able to participate. We look forward to helping with this project again next year. So keep an eye out next year for a toy box near you, for Sister Bend and friends toy bag moseying around to sell toys at a bar near you, and for Sister Bearie's bodacious Christmas parties where the entrance fee is simply a toy and a smile.

Logan's Playground (LP) was founded in 2000 in honor of Logan Shaver who was the first pediatric patient in clinical trials at the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS. Logan lost his battle with AIDS at the age of six in 1999. His mother, South West Center for HIV/AIDS and all who volunteer at Logan's Playground surely are being watched over by an angel to this day.
