CARMEL, INDIANA – Thursday night the Rollfast Foundation held its first annual Roll Out of Darkness Banquet at the Wellington in Fishers, Indiana. The event was emceed by WISH TV’s Drew Blair.

If you are currently carrying a secret and want to talk with somebody, please text ROLLFAST to 494949 and you’ll be connected with a Soulmedic for a confidential conversation.
