Honoring Charlie Kirk at a Ft. Lauderdale Event

On October 14, 2025—on what would have been his 32nd birthday, several people came to a restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk. Speakers that day included Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of Providence Forum, and Lauren Cooley, who used to work for Charlie Kirk. She is now the Director of Content & Media Strategy for Corral Ridge Ministries. Here is the audio of Jerry’s speech.

Note: Special thanks to Jack Gillies, who organized this event, and to local artist, Robert Korhonen, who had painted this great portrait of Charlie.
