Manager Brian Billings and his Sonic franchise, located at I-35 and Highway 33, gave their most recent generous donation to Guthrie Public Schools and particularly Cotteral Elementary.
Sonic Manager Brian Billings presents Cotteral Principal Scot Graham and the school’s teachers a check for $7,000.
Billings donated $7,000 to the school and has been making donations to the schools since 2007 and have equaled $57,000. Prior to last year, the Sonic has donated $1,000 to each of the school’s principal, however last year Billings wanted to do something a little different.
Instead of spreading the donations out, Billings is aiming towards picking two schools, through a random drawing, a year and make a big donation until “everyone gets a little bit piece of the pie.”
“A bunch of little prizes are nice, but one big prize is great. They (schools) all need so much,” Billings said.
In addition, Sonic proudly sponsors GHS football and basketball radio and internet broadcasts.
Billings says these type of donations are not common for his franchise, but is grateful Sonic allows it to happen.
“It is not common. It’s very fortunate that we are able to do this and are very excited that we can do it,” Billings concluded with.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Billings for this very generous donation to the school!
