With little to show but enthusiasm, the development staff at the National Constitution Center managed to fund a dream.

By Margaret Battistelli Gardner

With the momentum building, the NCC staff instituted a number of educational programs around the country, including a hugely popular “I Signed the Constitution” campaign, which provided schools, libraries, and citizen groups with a packet of information about the Constitution, as well as a parchment that individuals signed to “reaffirm their belief in the founding document,” which were then sent back to the NCC to be archived. For their effort, the signers got “I Signed the Constitution” stickers.
