Roll for Wishes: April Stallings of Make-A-Wish International on Merging Gaming and Philanthropy

Legends, Loot, & Lore: A Players's Guide to Dungeons and Dragons

Ever wished your passion for tabletop gaming could make a difference in the world? On our latest episode of Legends, Loot and Lore, we're putting a spin on things as we welcome our esteemed guest, April Stallings from Make-A-Wish International. April is a lifelong gaming enthusiast whose dedication to non-profit work has led her to create a unique intersection of her two loves - gaming and philanthropy.
In our chat, April gives us a window into the wish granting process at Make-A-Wish International. What makes it unique is that it doesn't just stop at granting a single wish for a child with a critical illness, but goes beyond that by offering ongoing mental health support. April also gives an insight into her journey into the world of gaming and how it has become a vital tool in fostering a sense of normalcy for these children.
The episode progresses into an exploration of Role for Wishes, a campaign that has paved a way for the tabletop gaming community to contribute to Make-A-Wish's fundraising efforts. April explains how the open-armed spirit of the gaming community has made a major contribution towards the success of the campaign. We also dive into discussing the vital role of fundraising in Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and how it interplays with Make-A-Wish. Be it a gamer, a fan of Make-A-Wish, or both, this episode offers a captivating journey of how gaming and charity can intertwine to create a tangible impact.
