2008 Fundraiser Beneficiary Selected

At the October General Meeting, the Alec Kramer Medical Fund was selected as the beneficiary of the 2008 FOP Fundraiser, which is to be held Saturday, March 1st, 2008 at the Carranor Club in Perrysburg.

Alec Kramer is a 5th grader at Ft. Meigs Elementary who was recently diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer.  Alec has undergone surgery to remove the majority of the tumor and will continue to receive radiation and chemotherapy over the next year and a half to remove any residual tumor.  

Alec is doing well but has a long road ahead of him.  Proceeds from this year's event will help to offset medical costs for Alec's treatment.
