More Than Just Great Food

SONIC is known for its delicious food and friendly service, but we also pride ourselves on being an integral part of the community. Being involved isn’t just good business—it’s the right thing to do.

National Outreach

For over 15 years, SONIC has focused on enhancing educational opportunities for Oklahoma youth aged 4-22 through community-giving programs. Each fall, we host Limeades for Learning, our largest annual fundraising effort to support teachers’ projects nationwide.

Limeades for Learning

Limeades for Learning is an award-winning program in partnership with the Sonic Foundation that supports teachers and students across the country. Since 2009, we’ve donated over $13 million to teachers’ projects, impacting thousands of students’ lives. Learn more at LimeadesForLearning.com.

Local SONIC Drive-In Support

Most SONIC drive-ins are franchisee-owned, meaning your local drive-in might be owned by your neighbor. These operators view community involvement as a way to be good neighbors and positively impact their communities, offering support for local educational initiatives and fundraising activities.

Corporate Support from SONIC

SONIC is committed to giving back, especially in Oklahoma, where our headquarters are located. Our support is focused on Oklahoma-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, particularly those that advance educational opportunities for youth aged 4-22.
