A portion of the event’s proceeds benefit Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW), the non-profit charity founded by Paul Walker and continued by his brother, Cody Walker. Founded in 2010, the organization was created by the late actor and producer after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti with the inspiration to organize a relief team that responded to the disaster. 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 $700,000 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, Lahaina, Hawaii, Türkiye, 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.
