When Hurricane Michael devastated the Florida panhandle, Sonny’s franchisee Chip Dixon knew how to give a community hope.

You don’t have to be related to treat someone like family. That’s something Sheena and the Sonny’s family showed us when they stepped in to surprise a coworker who lost her father.

Words of encouragement. A simple act of kindness. Jessica is the Sonny’s server who went above and beyond to lift the spirits of a special guest during Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Kindness is the best way to spread the spirit of BBQ – and it encourages others to do the same. So that’s exactly what we’re doing through a movement we call ‘Q the Kindness.

On Random Acts of Kindness Day (2/17/20), team members & Pitmasters from all over came together & showed us that the spirit of BBQ has the power to lift others.

Kennon will be leading our team’s effort to amplify kindness in the communities we serve, inspire acts of kindness, and help our restaurants share their stories.

Kennon’s first project as Sonny’s Chief Kindness Officer were kindness challenges geared towards spreading kindness to coworkers, people who work alongside us & our guests.

The Kindness Crew is made up of three Sonny’s team members who were given the opportunity to donate $2,500 to a charity of their choice on the National Day of Giving (12/1/20).
