Turning Point USA announced Saturday that a massive public memorial service for its founder Charlie Kirk will be held next weekend to honor the life and legacy of the “American legend.”

The celebration of life — “Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk” — will take place on Sunday, Sept. 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. 

The stadium, home to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, has the capacity to host 63,400 people — which can be expanded to 73,000 for “mega-events,” according to its website.

President Donald Trump said that he plans to attend Kirk’s services in Arizona.

Kirk, a husband and father, was fatally struck by a single bullet Wednesday while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. Kirk was rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 31 years old.

“His legacy will endure for generations,” the tribute notes. “And now he hears the words of Matthew 25:23 from his Lord and Savior: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’” 

Turning Point USA and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
