Panera Bread at the Alumni Game?

Maybe the co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Panera Bread Company, Ronald M. Shaich, will be able to donate some free food for upcoming alumni event? Shaich graduated from Clark in 1976 so he actually predates the lacrosse program but he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees in the past according to his bio on the Panera website.
Shaich "began his first business on Clark's campus, running a successful convenience store for students." Read more:  Ron Shaich Biography - Newsmakers Cumulation
Here is an article from USA Today about his business plan that I learned about from Clark's twitter feed that is shown below on the right or here.
