about the carol barr fund
The Carol Barr Fund was created in partnership with Carol’s family, friends, and the Central Kentucky American Heart Association to honor Carol’s remarkable legacy. The fund supports heart research and STEM scholarships for young women in Central and Eastern Kentucky, helping empower the next generation of female leaders.
Carol Barr was just 39 when she unexpectedly passed away in 2020 due to mitral valve prolapse, a heart condition that tragically took her life far too soon.
Known for her warmth, leadership, and magnetic presence, Carol left an unforgettable impact on everyone who knew her. Through this fund, her legacy continues by opening doors and inspiring young women to lead with courage and heart.
a heartfelt note from ty
In 2020, I lost one of my best friends to heart disease. Since losing her, I have been finding ways to honor her tremendous legacy.
Carol Barr was the most fierce cheerleader of her friends. When I had the dream to open Twirl in 2009, she championed and supported my dream, painted the walls of the historic home we still reside in, and served apple cider to guests on my first day of business. She was one of the most confident and classically beautiful women I’ve ever met, and to know her was to know true joy. The heartbeat of Twirl Boutique has always been to celebrate women and instill a lasting confidence in them while they are within the walls of our home, just like Carol did for anyone who crossed her path.
This collection features that classic styles handpicked by our team that exude timeless beauty and encourage every bride who wears them to twirl through life with a heart full of joy. A portion of each gown purchased from this special collection will be donated directly to The Carol Barr Fund with the American Heart Association. Thank you for sharing in the legacy of my dear friend, Carol.
