Hailing from Pittsford, New York, Rear Admiral Rick Williams possesses a long and distinguished career of military service, including posts as commander of the Navy Region Hawaii and Carrier Strike Group 15. Outside of his career, Rear Admiral Rick Williams is a longtime supporter of the American Red Cross.
There were six major disasters that struck the United States in 2017, and the American Red Cross was on hand to help with relief efforts for each of them. These tragedies included four devastating hurricanes, the worst mass shooting in American history, and a set of wildfires in California more destructive than any that have come before. In the midst of these events, the Red Cross handed out more food, relief supplies, and temporary shelter accommodations in 2017 than over the previous four years combined. The organization is able to do this through generous financial contributions and an army of volunteers. To learn more about its efforts, visit redcross.org.
