A public memorial titled “Building a Legacy Remembering Charlie Kirk” is scheduled for Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.

The event is open to the public. Doors will open at 8 a.m. and the program will begin at 11 a.m. The event is being held by Turning Point USA and aims to honor Kirk’s life and legacy.

Kirk was shot Wednesday afternoon while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

He was transported to the hospital in critical condition immediately after the shooting, and was pronounced dead from his injuries just hours after the shooting took place.

Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012 at the age of 18.

President Donald Trump had said he would attend Kirk's memorial service.

"I believe it's in Arizona, and they've asked me to go, and I think I have an obligation to do that," President Trump said prior to Turning Point USA's announcement.
