After his mother’s death in 2009, one Long Beach, California-based juvenile probation officer channeled his sadness to create a charity spreading cheer and art to those suffering throughout the country, a mission which has now gained him national recognition.

Yuri Williams, founder of the nonprofit “A Future Superhero and Friends,” will be honored for his work in Denver, Colorado April 27th with a Medal of Honor award from “One Voice United,” a nonprofit aimed at helping law enforcement officers.
