Meet The 2026 @PaulWalkerFdn Ocean Leadership Award & Scholarship recipient: Sean Monte (Sean Michael Valencia Monte)
“I hope my career is spent putting [my education] to use so that what we leave behind is not simply a record of what the ocean once was, but an ocean still worth inheriting.”
A student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa studying Global Environmental Science and Oceanography, Sean is also a 2025–2027 NOAA Hollings Scholar. His hopes for the future reflect a commitment to putting his education into action and protecting the ocean for generations to come.
Through this scholarship, PWF is honored to support Sean’s next chapter while carrying forward Paul’s love for the ocean and belief in doing good.
Congratulations, Sean, and welcome to The Paul Walker Foundation family!

"Candy Cane… you still there?" 📻
25 years ago today, Paul hit the road as Lewis Thomas in this wild ride of a thriller - one of two car movies he released in 2001 (the same year The Fast and the Furious changed everything). This one came with a killer soundtrack of CB static and a trucker you do NOT want to prank.

We would like to set the record straight regarding the false reports online.
Meadow Walker did NOT sell nor auction Paul’s 1998 Toyota Supra from Furious 7.
The car is currently on display at the @Petersen_Museum as part of A Fast & Furious Legacy exhibit running now through April 2027, and remains under Meadow’s ownership as part of her collection.
