Sonic Drive-In has donated $350,000 to public classroom projects through Limeades for Learning to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week. The QSR worked with nonprofit partner, DonorsChoose, to help public school teachers get the supplies they need to teach an array of topics. 

"Empowering teachers and giving back to communities is a core commitment for Sonic, and Random Acts of Kindness Week is a great opportunity to surprise and delight amazing teachers and help fulfill their diverse classroom needs," said Christi Woodworth, Sonic vice president of public relations, in the release. "We're grateful for the impact teachers make in their classrooms every day and are proud to support teachers who continue changing the lives of their students."

Sonic is also giving a randomly selected group of teachers in the brand's markets $50 DonorsChoose gift cards, while thanking randomly selected campaign supporters with promo codes they can apply toward their favorite teacher projects.

Since the launch of Limeades for Learning in 2009, SONIC has donated $15.2 million to nearly 20,000 public school teachers and more than 4.4 million students across the country.
