Secondary Schools & Clubs

SONIC's giveback rate is higher than most similar fundraising events offered by other restaurants, and we'll customize the event to fit your team, club, or student organization.

Fundraiser Nights are typically held on weeknights during a set evening window. We'll work with you and your preferred SONIC location to find a date, so submit your request early — availability fills up fast during the school year.

Fundraiser Nights work best for groups that can bring out 50 or more supporters and families. Smaller clubs or student organizations may get more value from our Community First Card program.

Our SONIC locations are trained to collect receipts when the purchasing party identifies their association with your event, so every eligible order counts toward your total.

Once your request is accepted and your event is scheduled, your selected location will provide marketing materials in advance so you can promote it to students, parents, and staff.

We understand school and athletic calendars shift. Our team will help you reschedule, pending availability. Repeated cancellations may affect eligibility to host a future event during the school year.

Checks typically take a few weeks to arrive. Be sure your mailing information is accurate when you submit your request to help avoid delays.

This option is built for coaches, sponsors and student leaders who need to feed a team or club of 20 or more, with pricing and pickup timing that works around practice, game, and meeting schedules.

Group pricing isn't available through the SONIC app, and the app limits how many items can go on a single order. Ordering through our request form gets you the best pricing on a large order, with everything ready at one scheduled pickup time.

Large orders take time to prepare properly, so same-day requests can't be guaranteed. We recommend submitting your request a few days ahead of your event whenever possible.

Yes — let us know in your request if you'd like to set up a standing order for the season, and we'll work with you and your selected location on the details.

Yes! Recognition Certificates are a way for us to give back to the students, coaches and staff who make our schools great.

Student certificates include a free small slush, and staff/coach certificates include a free medium drink.

Each school that orders receives a set of certificates covering academic recognition, athletic/extracurricular achievement, and staff/coach appreciation awards.

Each school, including its affiliated teams and clubs, is allotted a set number of student and staff certificates per semester.

Certificates are sent directly to school campuses and typically take a few weeks to arrive. Orders can't be fulfilled to a residential address, and rush requests can't be honored.

Certificates expire at the end of the academic year in which they were issued.

No — we provide Community First Cards completely free. These aren't gift cards; they're coupon cards designated for fundraising, and organizations may participate once per semester.

Yes, these offers are accepted at all SONIC locations nationwide.

Each card is packed with real savings on popular menu items — think buy-one-get-one deals, discounted meals, and treats.

Please allow a few weeks for your order to arrive by mail.

Yes — our goal is for your organization to sell every card and keep everything raised. We don't take a portion of proceeds or regulate how payment is collected.
