Rose Hulman Soccer Alumni,

Reaching out to all players from teams 2014 - 2019 that played under the Coach Essig.

Coaches serve an influential role in our playing careers and more importantly our lives. Coach Essig was certainly a players coach and cared about all of his players on and off the field to the greatest of depths. It has been 5 years since his time at Rose-Hulman and a few years away from the game entirely. Pulling this together as a way to express our collective appreciation and gratitude for his coaching.

Nick Kowalkowski and myself wanted to pull together every single player into one gift which can be seen in the photo associated with this page. Each box represents the team photo for years 2014-2019.

Our goal is to fund the frame and then any additional donations will be put into gift card for Jake, Sam, and Milo (Baby boy) to enjoy some games at the new USL team in his area, Fort Wayne FC.

The cost of the frame was $270. Asking for former players to pitch in $10-20 and we will easily exceed our $500 target.

This gift will be presented on behalf of all players, regardless if you donated or not.

Forever Rose
