Since 2009, SONIC has supported and celebrated public school
teachers through Limeades for Learning in partnership with
DonorsChoose.org to provide teachers with essential materials and
supplies to inspire creativity and learning in their students. To
date, SONIC has donated more than $7.5 million to public school
teachers, funding more than 14,000 classroom projects and

“Everyone has at least one teacher who made a difference in
their lives and this month, SONIC invites our fans and guests to
thank their favorite teacher on social media,” said Christi
Woodworth, vice president of public relations for SONIC. “Every
year, teachers spend more than $1 billion of their own money on
classroom supplies and Limeades for Learning allows us to show our
appreciation for their dedication to their students. We are
delighted to partner with Julianne Hough for a second year for our
second #ThanksTeach campaign during Teacher Appreciation
Month.”
Julianne Hough worked with SONIC to fund nearly 200 dance
projects created by public school teachers through Limeades for
Learning in 36 states across the country, including major markets
such as New York City, San Diego, Chicago, Indianapolis, Las Vegas
and San Antonio.
“I am excited to team up with SONIC again to support and thank
public school teachers. I’d love to kick off #ThanksTeach by
thanking one teacher who made a tremendous impact on my life. Thank
you, Tracy, for always being there and inspiring me to pursue my
passion as a dancer,” said Hough. “Everyone can make a difference
during Teacher Appreciation Month by simply using #ThanksTeach on
social media. By doing so, you can help Limeades for Learning bring
meaningful supplies to life in public school classrooms around the
country.”
