Ken Carter Memorial Scholarship
Born and raised in a single-parent home on the east side of Indianapolis, Ken "KJ" Carter, Jr., graduated from Warren Central High School (Class of 1999) and became an electrician, with knowledge in endless areas. When the opportunity presented itself to become a self-employed entrepreneur, he was up for the challenge. He left his full-time career as an electrician in 2005 to begin cultivating a great team of chauffeurs, mechanics, and office staff that would soon become recognized as the best transportation company in Indianapolis.
KJ's desire to give back to his community and help everyone he came into contact with was unparalleled, as evidenced not only in the countless charity events and causes in which Aadvanced Limousines participated but also simply from KJ's trademark conversational question: "How can I help?"
While he was called away from us far too soon, his spirit, drive, passion, and commitment live on strongly and proudly every day in his family, his company, his friends, and all those who knew him professionally in the event industry and beyond.
