Turning Point USA (TPUSA) will give away 5,000 Charlie Kirk freedom t-shirts to fans who attend the at the Oregon vs. Penn State game at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pa. on Saturday.
Kirk wore the now-iconic "freedom" shirt on Sept. 10 as he spoke at a Utah Valley University event when a single shot was fired from the roof of a nearby building, which killed the conservative activist. The tragic assassination has devastated the nation, and TPUSA has vowed to continue the mission that Kirk worked so passionately for.
"In the vein, and in honor of Charlie Kirk, we are going to fight cultural battles, and we are going to win them in an arena that Charlie loved so very much – college football," conservative podcaster and Kirk’s longtime friend Benny Johnson announced Thursday on "Will Cain Country."

"Turning Point USA, at the game of the week Penn State versus the Oregon Ducks, this is going to be a massive game. This was a game that Charlie Kirk was going to attend. Charlie Kirk loves Oregon, but he also has a bunch of fans at Penn State and has done huge events there," Johnson continued. "Turning Point USA is going to be handing out 5,000 Charlie Kirk freedom shirts at that game."
Johnson, who held up a "freedom" shirt identical to the one Kirk was wearing when he was tragically assassinated, said it’s going to be a whiteout game, which is a Penn State tradition where fans dress in all white.
"So, it’s gonna look great in the stands," Johnson said. We want the student section to be popping with Charlie Kirk freedom shirts for the whiteout at Penn State this weekend."
