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.

A Birthday Gift to Lois...

October 30, 2015

A special donation in honor of Lois Bolin for her Birthday:

Hello Lois, I want you to know that it is now official. During my presentation on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at the Rotary Club Naples Collier, I included in your honor as a Birthday gift, a donation of $422.00 toward obtaining Constitution booklets for the fifth grade students of Collier County.

You may recall on my blog site and well as my Face Book page the following statement was made before I went to the Stone Crab Festival on Sunday:

I want to wish a very special Birthday to Lois Bolin without her support this fundraiser could not be possible.
 
"As a Birthday Gift, the Steering Committee and I will match the donation earned today and place it in the funds raised today in the name of Lois for her birthday so you see it is special for you coming out today."

We earned $211.00 for our Fundraiser on Sunday, October 25, 2015. It would not have been possible without your donation of the free space for our Liberty Day Florida Organization. Our Steering Committee members came together and matched the $211.00 which made the total for Sunday $422.00.

 I now proudly announce that with the total of the $155.00 earned on Saturday combined with the now $422.00 we earned $577.00 for our Constitution Fundraiser. It is not just $577.00 but rather 577 Collier County fifth grade students will now have a Constitution booklet to use at school, at home, and with their community.

Again thanks for your kindness and I hope that all your Birthday wishes came true because you have truly touched the lives of many.

We are on the correct pathway of not only getting a Constitution booklet for the fifth grade students of Collier County but moving closer to getting a Constitution booklet for the entire fifth grade population of students (200,000) in our Sunshine State.

 
Now we will see which organization, individual, or Foundation will match that $577.00 so that we can complete the task of getting more Constitution booklets for our youth.
 

Joseph
