Since then, there have been informal fan memorials for Walker, but the first sanctioned event has finally been slated. The In Memory of Paul Car Hangout will be held at the College of the Canyons in Valencia May 20.

“The Santa Clarita Valley community sure came together after the crash and tried to help in any way possible – it was an act of love and compassion,” In Memory of Paul Car Hangout organizer Chris Lee said in a press release. “I see the Car Hangout as an extension of that, for this community to come together again and help the organization Paul left behind that does amazing things for people who cannot help themselves. To me, it’s a reflection of God’s love for us.”

Lee never met Walker, but admired how he worked to help others. Lee, owner of sports training programs Starting5 and Starting6, got to know Caleb Walker and Cody Walker, and wanted to raise money for their brother’s Pasadena-based organization, which has continued. All admission and sponsorship proceeds for the In Memory of Paul Car Hangout will benefit Reach Out Worldwide.

The In Memory of Paul Car Hangout will feature a car show, including classic, imported and exotic vehicles, celebrity vehicles and cars built in Santa Clarita for the “Fast & Furious” films. There will also be celebrity appearances, vendors, food and more.

Vehicles are still being accepted for the show. The fee is $25 per car with a limit of two per person.
In addition to the event, a VIP lunch with Caleb Walker and Cody Walker is being offered for $250. It includes a goodie bag and a photo opportunity with the brothers.

Omaze recently announced its latest contest, which presents fans with an opportunity to explore their inner workings of the action-packed film and meet its famous cast.

Starting with a $10 entry/donation, one winner and their friend will go behind the scenes on the Atlanta, GA set up the latest flick in the franchise and get an up-close-and-personal look at the decked out cars.

In addition, the winners will hand out with Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Scott Eastwood and the rest of the cast.

Plus, they will be flown down south and win accommodations in a four-star hotel.

Proceeds from the Omaze contest benefit the late Paul Walker’s foundation. Walker was a star in the popular franchise before he passed away from a car accident in November 2013.

His foundation’s mission is to do good by preserving his spontaneous goodwill across the globe and sharing it with others.

According to Omaze, “One of the key ways the foundation is giving back is through partnerships with organizations like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, supporting youth programs that introduce them to Marine Sciences and wildlife, and by providing scholarships to ocean leaders of tomorrow to become beacons in the fight to protect our oceans, wildlife, and ourselves.”

Fans can enter the contest starting with a $10 donation. For more money, fans receive multiple entries and other prizes surrounding the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
