Carlos Alvarez/Getty ImagesPaul Walker‘s family has requested that in lieu of flowers or other gifts, donations be made to support his charity Reach Out WorldWide.
Reach Out WorldWide is a network of professionals with first-responder skill sets who volunteer when disasters strike to augment relief efforts on a worldwide basis. The organization has helped with the recent Philippines typhoon, the 2011 Alabama tornado and the March 2010 earthquake in Chile. Walker founded the nonprofit after he helped with relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake and saw a need for more skilled personnel in post-disaster situations.
