Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and a well-known conservative activist, will be honored with a public tribute service next weekend at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The event, announced by Turning Point USA, will celebrate Kirk’s life and work.

Kirk, who passed away at the age of 31, started the organization in 2012. What began in a small garage in Illinois grew into a nationwide movement that reached millions. A tribute on the memorial website described him as a man of faith, leadership, and dedication to his family and country.

The service will take place at State Farm Stadium, with doors opening at 8:00 a.m. and the program starting at 11:00 a.m. The announcement drew a wide range of reactions online, with many expressing excitement to attend, while others raised concerns that the timing coincides with Sunday morning church services.

Erika Kirk, Charlie’s wife, shared an emotional message on social media, expressing gratitude to supporters and public officials, including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. She promised to continue her husband’s mission through Turning Point USA and shared a touching moment with their young daughter, Gigi, who has begun to ask questions about her father’s absence.

The tribute is expected to draw a large crowd as people gather to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy and impact.
