About Critical Role Foundation
Critical Role Foundation was created by the team behind Critical Role Productions to support nonprofit organizations addressing urgent needs around the world through community-driven generosity.
Through creative fundraising and a deeply engaged global audience, the foundation invests in organizations working directly with people facing serious barriers to health, safety, and opportunity.
Why This Matters to Sam Riegel
Sam Riegel, Emmy-winning voice actor and Critical Role cast member, believes in using his platform to make a real impact. Head and neck cancer patients face barriers beyond treatment — from urgent dental care to transportation and nutrition. Supporting HNC Living Foundation helps Sam ensure patients can complete life-saving care without facing impossible obstacles.
“It’s one thing to tell stories that inspire—it’s another to help save lives.” ~ Sam Riegel

The Power of Community Giving

Support raised during this event helps fund services patients need right now — often at the exact moment they are deciding whether treatment is even possible.
