Donors gave more than $3 million for the family of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk in less than 24 hours through a A GiveGoSend campaign.
ALP Pouches, a nicotine pouch company, launched the campaign, with a goal of $5 million. The company contributed $1 million.
Neil Patel, co-founder of both the Daily Caller and the Tucker Carlson Network, made the announcement late Friday.
“We aren’t even 24 hours into our campaign to support Charlie’s family, and we have already raised nearly $3 million from over 20,000 donors,” Patel posted on X. “What an amazing outpouring. Sincere thanks to everyone. Love to keep this going.”
As of 7 p.m. Friday, the campaign had raised $3.36 million.
Kirk was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The suspected killer was apprehended early Friday.
“Our team at ALP is heartbroken by the death of Charlie Kirk — a devoted husband, father, and friend. Love for God, family, and country defined his life,” the fundraising site says.
“Charlie leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two young children. As they navigate this unimaginable loss, we want to rally together to provide security and stability for Charlie’s loved ones,” the campaign says. “Our goal is to raise as much as possible to support the Kirk family. ALP has contributed $1 million to this effort, and we invite you to join us in honoring Charlie’s legacy by giving whatever you are able.”
