On Wednesday, August 24th, come out to the B-L Sonic and grab your dinner between the hours of 5 pm and 8 pm to support Panther athletics! During that time period, 10 percent of the sales will go directly to BLHS. In addition, BLHS is competing against Gilbert High School. They will be doing a "Carhops for Cash" at a different Sonic location at the same time. Whichever school brings in the most sales will get an additional $500 presented to them during half time on Friday night in the BLHS vs. Gilbert game...in addition to a trophy and bragging rights. Let's go Panthers!
