Business Can Be a Relay
by Melissa Henning As I mentioned in my first blog post as Roundpeg’s summer social media intern, I am in charge of the public relations for the downtown Indianapolis Relay for Life. This year’s event is coming up, on July 29 at Monument Circle. This is not only a cause that is close to my heart, but Roundpeg and Relay for Life have more in common that you might think.
