NFL Star Jalen Hurts Donates $300,000 to Charlie Kirk’s Family After Tragedy

Philadelphia, PA – September 12, 2025

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has made a heartfelt $300,000 donation to support Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their two young daughters.

The donation has been split into two parts:

$100,000 for murals and floral tributes across Philadelphia and Charlotte, honoring Kirk’s life and legacy.

$200,000 for a trust fund to secure the daughters’ long-term stability.

In a statement, Hurts said: “This isn’t about politics. It’s about standing with a family when they feel most alone. My hope is that Erika and her girls know they are surrounded by love and support, even in tragedy.”

The context makes it even more powerful. Only yesterday, Hurts also donated to Honoring Iryna Zarutska, adding another layer of compassion to his actions. Two back-to-back donations highlight Hurts’ belief that leadership means showing up for families when they need it most.

NFL teams are expected to hold moments of silence this weekend in Kirk’s memory, with discussions underway for a legacy fund to ensure his daughters’ future.

As one Eagles teammate privately remarked: “We always talk about brotherhood in this locker room. Jalen just showed the world that brotherhood doesn’t stop when the game ends.”
