OKLAHOMA CITY (OBV) – Sonic Drive-In honored Teacher Appreciation Month by making a massive donation to support education efforts across the nation.

The popular, Oklahoma City-based fast food chain donated $1.5 million, matching public contributions, to DonorsChoose, a national nonprofit that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom requests submitted by teachers.

The donation, part of Sonic’s ongoing Limeades for Learning initiative, matched 50 percent of each donation made to all teacher requests and helping to fully fund nearly 15,300 projects from teachers and schools across the country.

“SONIC is invested in supporting the local communities served by our more than 3,500 locations, and we’re proud of the impact we’ve made over the past 14 years through Limeades for Learning,” said Lori Abou Habib, Chief Marketing Officer of SONIC. “We’re grateful to all the SONIC guests who joined us in celebrating teachers this month by donating to a classroom request on DonorsChoose, and those who continue to help us support public education by grabbing their favorite SONIC drink and having a portion of the purchase go towards helping a nearby public school.”

The SONIC Limeades for Learning initiative provides a portion of proceeds from every drink, slush and shake purchase to the SONIC Foundation, which supports local public education. SONIC has donated over $26 million to funding local classrooms since 2009.

The following teachers in the following Oklahoma communities received funding thanks to Sonic’s donation:

  • Mrs. Archer at Choctaw Elementary School for the project “A Little of This and A Little of That” for Grades PreK-2
