Carr knows how important it is to give back to the community.

Carr has been “making good” in the community since his 2006 release from prison, where he served eight years for third degree murder.

Carr was trying to protect his family as he witnessed three people enter his yard and fatally wounded a thirteen year-old. He was charged with manslaughter and exonerated. Carr was found innocent but was re-tried a year later and convicted of third-degree homicide.

While in Prison, Carr spent many hours thinking about how to give back and he has done just so and this is just another of the long line of activities that Carr has shown how important to give back especially in this season of giving.

In 2007-2008, Carr participated in the Exhoodus Tour with Bill Cosby.

This was a tour of ex-offender and spoke to the community about stopping the violence.

Simon Carr’s twelve days of Christmas is being sponsored by Punchline Clothing and Penntucky Sports
