Turning Point USA has announced plans for a large-scale public memorial service to honor its late founder, Charlie Kirk. The event, titled “Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk,” will take place on Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals.
Doors will open at 8:00 a.m., with the program beginning at 11:00 a.m. local time. Registration is required through the official memorial website, fightforcharlie.com, and seating will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. State Farm Stadium can hold over 63,000 people, with the ability to expand capacity for major events, making this one of the largest political memorial services in recent history.
President Donald Trump is expected to attend, underscoring the national significance of the gathering. Organizers at Turning Point USA have described the service as both a remembrance and a rallying event, highlighting Kirk’s lifelong dedication to faith, family, and country. A statement from the organization called Kirk “an American legend” whose voice and leadership shaped a generation of conservative students and activists.
The memorial follows Kirk’s tragic assassination on September 10 during a speaking event at Utah Valley University. His death shocked political and faith communities across the nation, leading to tributes from lawmakers, pastors, students, and public figures. The upcoming service in Arizona is intended not only to mourn his passing but also to celebrate his legacy and continue the mission he built.
Turning Point USA has invited members of the public, students, and supporters to attend the service, which is expected to draw thousands from across the country. The event will include speakers, tributes, and reflections on Kirk’s impact as a leading conservative and Christian voice in America.
