The Hamilton County Peace Officers Association wants you to remember this number: $210,000.

It will be history after July 20.

“That’s the number that the Hamilton County Peace Officers Association has raised through their summer benefits for the families of fallen law enforcement, military or firefighters,” HCPOA member Dwain Noffke said recently.

He expects HCPOA to blast past that above figure later this month with its 13th Annual Benefit Golf Tournament.

HCPOA will donate this year’s proceeds to the family of the late Kevin Cram, the Algona police officer who was murdered in the line of duty in September of 2023.

The event will be at the Briggs Woods Golf Course and Conference Center.

“(We) will pass the quarter of a million dollar mark!” Noffke said. “Through generous donors and the support of the community and state, this is the largest event of its kind in the midwest.”

Highlighting the auction, he said, will be an authentic San Francisco 49ers full-size football helmet and glass display case, donated and personally autographed by the 49ers’ starting quarterback Brock Purdy.

Cram is survived by his family that includes his wife, Lara Cram, and sons Ira, Weston and Archer.

“In addition to the golf and auction, the local organization will be sponsoring a birthday party for Ira Cram, who will turn four on the day of the benefit,” Noffke said.
