Notice from Reach Out Worldwide
Walker was just a short distance from his charity event to aid Filipino victims of Typhoon Haiyan for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. Walker formed the organization in 2010 as a quick response first-aid organization aiding in rescue and recovery after major natural disasters around the globe.
Winter Drive was an automotive gathering and toy drive held from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Saturday November 30, 2013 at 28309 Constellation Road, Valencia, California. The collection area was a commercial/light industry area.
On Saturday, November 30th, 2013, AutoCon Events in conjunction with Purist Group and Reach Out WorldWide, will play home to the annual ‘Winter Drive: Charity Toy Drive & Automotive Social Gathering.’ During the holiday season, many economically disadvantaged children from around the world are faced with the same dilemma year after year; the lacking of joy and cheer. Our goal here is to be able to provide aid to these less fortunate children in hopes of helping them grow up to become confident, responsible and productive young adults. Through our combined efforts with the automotive industry and car culture, we can make a difference in a child’s life this year.
