Project Blue Light Shines
Project Blue Light is moving closer to reaching its goal in Summit County to distribute 10,000 blue lights in honor of service members in the community.
Rob Winebrenner, the father of fallen Akron police officer Justin Winebrenner, launched the project in November.
"We have more people that want the bulbs, than we have bulbs," said Winebrenner.
More than 3,000 light bulbs have been handed out across Summit County since the launch of the project in November. Winebrenner said it's not hard to see the community's support.
"As you drive around Barberton, it's amazing. There's a lot of [blue lights] in the Akron area. I've shipped them off to Warren and other states."
Winebrenner doesn't have any plans to stop -- even after his goal is reached.
"It's been working out very well. Enough to keep it going and keep us ordering our next thousand."
A benefit will be held at the Funny Stop Comedy Club in Cuyahoga Falls Wednesday night. The proceeds will go to Project Blue Light.
