![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)

Renaissance has partnered up with Bo Beuckman Ford to be a part of the Drive One 4 Ur School test-driving program that can raise money for Lafayette.
In order to participate in the event, you must be 18 years of age, and only one member per household can complete a test drive.
Community Service teacher Matt Landwehr believes this is a great opportunity for students to get involved in raising money for our school.
“Basically, it’s just a fundraiser for Renaissance. We’re going to have a car wash along with it to raise money for the American Cancer Society,” Landwehr said.
For each valid test-drive, Ford will donate $20, and each school can raise up to $6,000.
The April 14 fundraiser will take place from 9a.m.-4 p.m. in the Lafayette parking lot.
Landwehr added, “It’s about a 15-20 minute commitment and you can take about a 6-7 minute test drive around the school.”
Bo Beuckman is going to bring about 10 brand new cars to test drive. After completing a drive around the school, you must fill out a survey about basic information and thoughts about the new car.
