Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, an event that moved Furnari to create the monument. Furnari stated his motivation was not political alignment but to commemorate free speech, support Kirk's widow, and honor a person and moment. An online fundraiser set up by Furnari to recoup his material costs has only raised $8,225, leading him to express frustration over the lack of financial support. If the statue remains unsold, Furnari intends to display it in Times Square on September 10, the one-year anniversary of Kirk's death.
