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 $600,000 through the partnership with FuelFest to benefit those in need and has deployed resources to several disaster areas including Asheville, NC, and Englewood, FL, following hurricanes Helene and Milton. Additionally, Cody and Felicia Walker collaborated with The Weather Channel in 2022 on a new series Fast: Home Rescue, to help rebuild homes across the United States that were impacted by natural disasters.
