Carry the Torch.
In memory of Charlie Kirk — a nonprofit dedicated to identifying and empowering the Next 100: young, principled leaders with the courage and conviction to shape the future he believed in.
Until I join you in heaven, Charlie, I will try.
A hundred torches, lit from one.
Charlie Kirk was 31 years old when he was assassinated. He had already spent more than a decade building a movement for young Americans who believed their country was worth defending, worth debating, and worth loving out loud.
Carry the Torch exists to make sure that work doesn't end with him. Our mission is simple and specific: identify one hundred young leaders — principled, courageous, and ready — and give them the resources to build what comes next.
We believe the future belongs to those willing to show up, speak up, and stand on principle when it costs them something. Charlie did. The Next 100 will.
