TMZ has learned that Tyrese got a little bit ahead of it … but they have nearly reached $1 million! The org is confident they’ll cross the full mark by year’s end … after seven years of steady fundraising.
Paul founded Reach Out WorldWide back in 2010, creating a disaster-response organization aimed at getting skilled volunteers to places devastated by natural catastrophes … inspired by the deadly earthquake in Haiti that year. ROWW remains active in disaster responses all over the world.
FuelFest is a global car festival that was founded by Paul’s brother Cody, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting ROWW.
As you’ll recall, Paul tragically died in a fiery car crash in November 2013 … but clearly, his legacy lives on.
