At 13, Tyler Johnson might have been too old for a lemonade stand, but his mother didn't have the heart to tell him.
Instead, Tyler and other children in the Brandonway neighborhood used the lemonade stand to raise money for cancer research through the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.
"I've been coaching soccer for six years now and I've had a lot of boys on the soccer team for some time now," said Elizabeth Johnson.
"They were willing to help out."
On National Lemonade Day last June, the Johnson family and several others manned the lemonade stand and raised more than $1,000 that was donated to the Alex's Lemonade Foundation that funds research for pediatric cancer.
The lemonade stand ended up being a big draw, especially after two Ohio State University football players showed up.
"It was truly wonderful to see the community come out and help for such a great cause," Tyler said.
