KOKOMO, Ind. -- A Kokomo boy set up shop Saturday to raise money for the family of Southport police Lt. Aaron Allan's family by selling lemonade. 

Malachi Fronczak opened "Malachi's Magnificent Lemonade" stand from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 748 South Bell Street Saturday afternoon. In a post on the page for his lemonade stand, the family said they would be donating all money raised Saturday to Lt. Allan's family. 

If you were unable to stop by Malachi's stand, you can still donate to the GoFundMe page set up by Southport Police Chief Tom Vaughn
