KY Twirling Consortium

Our mission is to promote baton twirling in the state of KY by working with coaches to help them build their student base, bring competitions to our state, and increase the overall awareness of baton twirling as a sport and art to THE BLUEGRASS.

Our 2026 selected recipients are:

The University of Kentucky Competition Twirlers and the Wonder Hill Twirlers have been selected as our 2026 recipients. They will receive financial assistance throughout 2026 as funds become available. If you would like to donate to support one of these recipients, please send your contribution to @kentuckytwirlingconsortium via Venmo. If you would like your donation to benefit a specific recipient, please indicate that clearly. Otherwise, all donations and proceeds will be divided equally between the two recipients and funds will be distributed quarterly.
