A passion for cars turned into a meaningful act of giving on Monday as Paint and Audio, with the support of its major sponsors TAXI and AH LIKI, raised more than $30,000 for children with autism and the newly established Samoa Otisi Society.

The Taxi Paint And Audio competition, held to promote autism awareness and support families affected by autism, attracted vehicle enthusiasts and members of the public who came together for a common cause.

At the conclusion of the event, a total of $30,350 was presented to Samoa Otisi Society president Nancy Vito during a special ceremony at the park.

The full amount raised from the event was donated to the society to assist its work in supporting children with autism and raising awareness in Samoa.

Paint and Audio founder Christopher Feesago expressed heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of the fundraiser.
