(Radio Iowa) – The family of slain Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram will be the beneficiaries of an annual charity golf tournament in Webster City this weekend. More than 140 golfers have signed up for the Saturday tourney at Briggs Woods Golf Course. Officer Cram was shot and killed last fall while serving a warrant, and the man who shot him was convicted of first-degree murder last week.

Rod Hicok, of the Hamilton County Peace Officers Association, is coordinating the golf event which aims to help out the officer’s widow and young sons. “Laura Cram and her three boys, and the boys’ names are Archer, Westin and Ira. Their ages are 13, 7 and 4,” Hicok says. “In fact, that day will be Ira’s birthday on Saturday, so we’re going to have a little surprise birthday party for him out there, too.”

Last year’s golf outing raised more than 27-thousand dollars for Jennifer Richardson and her family from Fremont County. Richardson’s husband, Austin, was a Fremont County sheriff’s deputy who was killed in a crash in June of 2022.
