About Evan Rosenstock
On May 20, 2013, Churchill sophomore and varsity athlete, Evan Rosenstock, took his own life as a result of depression, leaving the entire Churchill community shocked and saddened. To prevent other student-athletes from ever feeling alone or desperate, a group of Churchill students, along with the Rosenstock family, have created umttr. Their mission is to foster a community of students who know that they matter.
