After your request has been accepted and the SONIC Fundraiser Night has been scheduled, your selected marketing materials will be available for pick up at your local Sonic location the Friday before your event. If you are in the San Angelo area, your materials will be delivered to your school the Friday before your event!

When your supporters place their order at SONIC the night of your event, they simply mention “Hey – I’m here to support ____ for the fundraiser!” Our crew logs this order as a FUNDRAISER order and it adds up electronically at the end of the night.

We also compare sales from the last 2 week average to ensure that a large amount of sales were not missed, we always side on the side of the school’group holding the fundraiser and want you to get all the sales you deserve!

Unfortunately at this time we are not able to count orders placed through the SONIC APP. We are always looking for ways to improve our programs for community partners and acknowledge that this is requested for future use.

A Sonic Contest is a great way to create engagement between students and/or staff and increase attendance at your SONIC Fundraiser Night! With spots for up to 4 contestants total, each contestant is likely to attract at least 1-2 more attendees to watch them. Often the highlight of the night, a contest will make your event one for the books!

Can I hold more than one contest?

You may opt into up to 2 of the 3 contests that we offer! SONIC will provide one order of food/drink per contestant, with 2 contestants per contest. Sonic will also supply a winner’s prize for the contest at your SONIC Fundraiser Night!

Additional contests can be held, but the hosting organization is responsible for purchasing additional items and providing any additional prizes.

Checks can take up to 3-4 weeks to arrive after a SONIC Fundraiser Night. To expedite this process, be sure to provide the needed EIN # or Tax Payer ID prior to your event.

• Maximize Your Outreach: Successful events rely on strong promotion. The more you share your fundraiser, the more support you’ll receive from the community.

• Inspire Participation: Collaborate with our marketing specialist to create free, motivating incentives, such as student rewards for attending or fun perks for staff. Together, we’ll tailor ideas to fit your group’s goals.
