Longest line of Coins-THINK Together can succeed Together

The proverb 'Unity is Strength'  would get reinforced after you read this incident.THINK Together’s mission is to provide high-quality, academically oriented out-of-school programs for students regardless of race, creed, or socioeconomic status. Since its inception in 1994, THINK (Teaching, Helping, Inspiring and Nurturing Kids) Together has been committed to improving academic outcomes for children and youth living in under-resourced communities.With their motto of Teaching,helping,inspiring and nurturing kids they are trying to make a positive difference in the lives of the children.So keeping this in mind they  carry a legacy of qualitative upbringing  in kids for a better tomorrow. THINK Together, a non-profit, is the largest provider of academically-focused after-school programs in California serving more than 35,000 low-income and at-risk students at 200+ sites across a four-county footprint of Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties).

And the non profit organisation's initiative was inspired by the President Obama and First lady Michelle Obama  who always emphasise on  each doing their individual parts shall result in collective  power to create miles of change.And it's in that spirit that  the 'Miles of Change' community engagement project  was designed so that the  students could experience that first-hand results.
 Close to 2,000 students and 200 chaperones worked nearly six and a half hours to lay down a 65 mile chain of pennies on the racetrack at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana setting the new world record for the longest chain of coins.Southern California students who participated in THINK Together after-school programs set a new World Record  by using more than 5,491,200 pennies and  filled  more than 3,432 cardboard trays.Each one was  connected by a penny in the corner, to create a chain of pennies  of more than 65 miles long on the racetrack at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana,California.
The students outdid themselves because in all, they ended up collecting more than 15.8 million pennies or $158,722.63 worth of change. That is nearly 188 miles of pennies.
The Longest chain of coins in Fontana which had  covered a length of more than 65  miles happened to be a world record breaker as the previous one measured a  penny chain of length just 40 miles.
 All of the change collected, including nearly 5.5 million pennies used to accomplish the World Record feat, will go directly into funding activities for the free after-school program which targets at-risk and low-income students. In early February, more than 35,000 students in THINK Together's after-school programs throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino County launched a penny drive, "Miles of Change," to commemorate the Bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth; and in recognition of the Lincoln Penny's Centennial, the students set out to collect at least 8.5 million pennies, or 100 miles of pennies. Miles of Change happened to be a huge success because of the cooperation of Auto club Speedway,Bank of America,AMR,Brinks,univision anymany other corporate backing who also shared the goal that individual efforts can make a major difference to the society.Like the quote goes'Tiny Drops make an ocean.
