In celebration of ROWW reaching 11 countries in 11 years, from now through the end of October, the organization is offering anyone the chance to purchase raffle tickets to win an all-expense paid VIP trip to the 2021 Phoenix FuelFest event on December 4.

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.

Cody Walker—American Actor, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Car Enthusiast
