Country music superstar Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, are set to take the stage at FOX Nation’s seventh annual Patriot Awards on Thursday at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville, New York, where they will present the inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk.
The award, which will now be presented annually, honors individuals who embody Kirk’s enduring mission of faith, family and free speech.
Erika Kirk was elected unanimously as Turning Point CEO and chair of the board after her husband was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.
Following the presentation, Aldean will perform a special live set, featuring his hit songs "Try That in a Small Town" and "How Far Does a Goodbye Go."
