Honoring a Legacy of Leadership and Love for Frankfort 💙
In honor of a man whose passion for people, service, and community knew no bounds, we are proud to announce the creation of The Karl Lawrence Leadership Frankfort Scholarship — named after our beloved friend and 2023 Leadership Frankfort graduate, Karl Lawrence, who passed away far too soon on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at the age of 56.
Karl lived and breathed community. His impact was far-reaching — from serving as Vice President of Downtown Frankfort, Inc., to advocating for inclusion on the Capital Pride board, to amplifying voices as Legislative Liaison for the Frankfort Area Chamber of Commerce.
Whether through his lens as a photographer, his stained glass artistry, or the welcoming walls of Mortimer Bibb’s Public House, a space he designed to celebrate fellowship and history — Karl poured love, creativity, and connection into everything he touched.
This scholarship will carry forward Karl’s legacy — ensuring that future leaders, just like him, are empowered to invest in Frankfort with heart, vision, and purpose.
We miss him deeply. But his spirit will continue to lead, inspire, and unite.
