“At SONIC, we believe teachers are entrepreneurs and our
partnership with DonorsChoose.org fosters innovation in the
classroom by allowing hard-working teachers to solve the challenges
their students face every day; Limeades for Learning is our way to
invite guests and fans to make a difference in their communities,”
says Christi Woodworth, vice president of public relations for
SONIC. “Today kicks off the ninth year of putting our donation in
the hands of our guests to vote for the public school teachers’
projects that inspire them most.”
Starting today, Monday, Sept. 25, and extending through Sunday,
Oct. 22, SONIC empowers guests and fans to support teachers by
voting for specific public school teacher projects at
LimeadesforLearning.com. During the voting period, projects with
the most votes at the end of each week will receive funding, and
remaining projects get the chance for funding the following
week.
“Since 2009, Limeades for Learning has given fans a chance to
help fund more than 14,000 classroom projects impacting more than
419,000 students,” says Charles Best, founder of DonorsChoose.org.
“With the average teacher spending $500 of their own money to
supply their classrooms and meet their students’ needs, our goal
every year is to help teachers create a learning environment with
unlimited learning opportunities.”
