ROWW’s mission is to fill the gap between the availability of skilled resources in post-disaster situations. As of 2024, ROWW has raised over $850,000 through the partnership with FuelFest to benefit those in need and has deployed resources to several disaster areas including recently Asheville, NC & Englewood, FL following hurricanes Helene and MIlton, Los Angeles wildfires, Lahaina, Hawaii, Jamaica and more. Additionally, Cody and Felicia Walker collaborated with The Weather Channel in 2022 on a new seriesFast: Home Rescue, to help rebuild homes across the United States that were impacted by natural disasters.

 

Keep on the lookout for more surprise locations internationally! Event information, car registration and tickets can be found now at www.FuelFest.com, as well as on social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram and TikTok!

About Reach Out WorldWide

Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) was founded in 2010 by the late actor/producer, Paul Walker. After a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Paul spontaneously organized a relief team that responded to the disaster. On the trip, Paul saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Upon returning from Haiti, Paul established ROWW with the purpose of fulfilling this unmet need. Since Paul’s passing, ROWW continues to be a platform for like-minded individuals to make a difference in other people’s lives. It started as an idea and has transformed into a culture equally benefiting the volunteers as much as the people they are assisting. It’s turning the “I generation” into a “goodwill

generation.” It’s giving good people not just a voice but a chance to act. To this day ROWW remains very active and responsive to disasters all over the world. For further press information visit www.roww.org.
