The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently honored Brian Williams, left, with its Volunteer Community Service Award. Hilda Meryhew, of DAR’s Lakota Chapter, right, presented the honor.

Williams organized and launched the See Ya Later Foundation in Auburn in 2010, from the inspiration of a 12-year-old boy who died of cancer. Behind Williams, the foundation supports area families who are dealing with a life-threatening medical crisis.

DAR recognizes Williams as an “outstanding service humanitarian. … He unselfishly gives of his time to make a better life for youth and their families.” COURTESY PHOTO
