Constituton Project, Inc.
The Mission: Constitution Project, Inc., a Florida non-profit, was founded by Joseph Cofield, for the purpose of putting a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the hands of every 5th grade student in Florida. That is a huge task, as there are over 200,000 5th graders in 67 different Florida counties, but progress is being made thanks to Joseph's extraordinary efforts!
The How: Joseph began his mission in April 2014 and since then, many amazing things have happened. To gather support for his mission, in April of 2015 he began his 27 - 67 Journey Across Florida - visiting each of the 67 Florida counties, riding his bike 21 miles and running 6 in each county (one mile for each of the 27 Amendments). That is over 1,800 difficult miles meeting with state and county officials, school personnel and service organizations.

I am very excited about starting my 27 - 67 (27 Amendments 67 Counties)Journey across Florida. In each county, I will complete 27 miles by running 6 miles and cycling 21 miles. Please do come out and join me when I get in your area of Florida. The funds raised during my journey will go to support the local school districts in that area during my journey in order that the 5th grade students of Florida will have their very own personal copy of the United States Constitution booklets. Thanks in advance for your support!
