![Watching a small group scrimmage, Ben Lundt, St. Louis City SC goalkeeper and founder of Lundt Pro Soccer Training, shouts words of encouragement to players on Sunday, April 26 n the Lafayette grass soccer field. “The idea behind [the event] was to bring the professional soccer players closer to the community because usually people only get to see us on TV or in the stadium. [Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

The second annual “Hardee’s Homecoming” fundraiser will once again be taking place during Homecoming Week. Flyers for the fundraiser have been handed out during lunches, placed in Lafayette staff mailboxes, and can be found in the main office.
Students, parents, and anyone else interested in helping out Lafayette Renaissance can contribute by taking the flyer with them to the Hardee’s located at 16301 Truman Rd.
“Hardee’s donates 20% of all proceeds from purchases when anyone brings the “Hardee’s Homecoming” flyer to Hardee’s during Homecoming week,” Renaissance sponsor Matt Landwehr said.
Hardees became a Renaissance Sponsor last year, and donated numerous coupons and items that were given out to Renaissance students throughout the school year.
Another fundraiser, much like the Hardees Fundraiser, will be held by Renaissance sponsor Chick-fil-A in October. “Flyers will be available soon and it is a rivalry fundraiser against Marquette, it should be a lot of fun,” Landwehr said.
