Local teacher gets donation from SONIC

A Hartsville teacher will get $581 for classroom supplies, part of a $1 million donation campaign from SONIC restaurants, the company says. The teacher is benefiting from the company’s annual Fall Voting Campaign. SONIC Drive-In, in partnership with education nonprofit DonorsChoose, donated $1 million to public school teacher projects that received the most votes from fans across the country. During a span of four weeks, supporters voted for their favorite projects to help SONIC determine which received a portion of the brand’s funding for learning materials. In Hartsville, a teacher was selected to receive $581.84 for classroom supplies. The company identified her as Brandie Hewitt Berghorn at Hartsville High School, and her project was “Don’t Be a Ding Dong; Play Ping Pong!” “Through their Fall Voting Campaign, SONIC Drive-In has provided essential supplies that will help hundreds of students flourish and empower their teachers during this unpredictable school year,” said Charles Best, CEO and founder of DonorsChoose. “We’re celebrating SONIC’s milestone of donating $20 million over the past 13 years through DonorsChoose. Because of their ongoing partnership, classroom visions have come true for teachers in every state in our nation.”
