Charlie Kirk's company sells merch ahead of funeral after fundraiser by fans raised eye-watering amount in less than two days

Millions of dollars have been raised for Charlie Kirk's family following his death last week, and now his company has released merchandise ahead of his memorial service on Sunday (September 21).

The conservative activist was fatally shot at an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) last week. Kirk had been speaking to crowds when a single bullet hit him in the neck.

While he was rushed to the hospital, he later died of his injuries. Within 48 hours, a 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson was apprehended in custody after he handed himself in to authorities.

Robinson has now been charged with several offences, including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice.

The 31-year-old's company, Turning Point USA, shared a post on Facebook explaining how people can support Kirk's wife, Erika, and their two children through donation pages and links to purchase their new merchandise.

They wrote: "We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support for the Kirk family and for our organization during this incredibly difficult time.

"We are especially grateful to those who have reached out asking how they can help."

Some of their merchandise designs include a drawing of Erika and Kirk holding the hands of their two children, but Kirk has a halo above his head.

Another reads 'This is our Turning Point' and features the date of Kirk's death, while a third one says 'Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant', and also features the date of his death.

In another hand-drawn design on an 'exclusive memorial tee', the podcaster is seen with his fist in the air, with a line from the Bible, which reads: "Here I am Lord, send me."

The website describes it as a 'bold statement of faith, conviction, and leadership'.

A fundraiser was set up on GiveSendGo by a nicotine pouch company, named ALP Pouches, to raise $5 million to send to Kirk's family.

"The world is devastated by the death of the Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk," the page explains.

"He was a devoted husband, father, friend, and mentor who touched the lives of millions of people in countless ways.

"But Charlie left much more than a memory, legacy, and mission behind. His wife Erika and his two beautiful children remain with us.

"As we carry forward Charlie’s work, we also carry the responsibility of supporting, loving, and praying for his family.

"Charlie stood for family above all else. So, we ask that you join us in honoring Charlie by standing with Erika and the Kirk family today. Please consider giving whatever you can to help provide for his family’s future."

As of the time of writing, the fundraiser has raised over $2 million.

In her statement following her husband's death, Erika vowed to continue his work, saying she will 'never let your legacy die'.
